Why can’t my love for them break through?
Why is so hard to utter a single word?
Why can I not speak my soul’s truth in any given moment?

Why is it that we come together and at the last moment I can only speak my thoughts?
For I know I love my father, my mum, my sisters, my brother, my friends.
But why is it so hard to speak?
Why is it so hard to tell them how much I love them?

For do I fear their loss?
Do I not love myself enough for fear of such a loss?
When my heart tells me that all my life they have been wanting?
I have been needing of such expression?

Why do we know such in our hearts for our closest, for our humanity?
But yet still we cannot express it?
Why do we “feel wrong” in doing so?
Where does this feeling, thought, and emotion stem from?

For I need to feel these things.
It makes me feel a part of life, it makes me feel loved, and it makes me feel whole.
I need to not feel ashamed of my love but proud.
But why have we as “society” made such a feeling so shameful?

I want to express my love and make the world see that it is a good thing.
Not something that must be hidden away in the dark.
But why is it so hard, why have we made it so hard?
