3AM Thoughts (17)

It is just how bright someone’s smile can seem, how shinny a falling tear will look, how cracked up a voice can sound at 2 in the morning – that can make you catch a slight glimpse into their soul and make you fall in love with them…or hate them too. Hearts are wild creatures you know. Yet the ribs are not that strong of a fortress to hold them in. For after all, the more you try to cage a bird, the more it tries to get out. So all these feelings people keep caged up, do you ever notice or wonder about it that if they did not try so hard to contain them, they would feel a little more free? Because if you lose them, you are left with nothing; vacant. And it is only when you have nothing that you are truly free. Freedom is a tricky thing as well. It is demanding. I guess that is how some people prefer it: they would rather deal with the howling and clawing of that wild heart caged in their chest than deal with the demanding.
