listen!

listen to what your brain, common sense, tells you. listen to the screaming comrade inside your head. listen to the compassionate wind, whispering the truth. listen to the hushed confessions of the gentle rain. listen to what everyone tells you. listen to yourself. just listen.

look!

open your eyes as you make a fool out of yourself. look at what has become of you--a jerk, an oaf, a total loser. look at yourself as you cry your heart out over unfavorable circumstances. look closely as the world showcases the truth before your bare eyes. take a closer look at yourself. just look.

feel!

dont fail to feel the evident deception around you. feel the bitterness inside you. feel the desire to attain the depths of oblivion, euphoria. feel the earth--alive, magnificent and full of hope. feel the innumerable opportunities for love, for life. feel everything. feel it. just feel.

stop!

stop fooling yourself. stop pretending to be blind. stop forcing yourself to believe that everything is doing fine. stop walking around as if nothing is wrong. stop believing that the world revolves around you. stop wearing that fake smile despite that obvious sadness. stop torturing yourself. stop hiding from reality. and stop rejecting the truth. just stop.

i told you this was just one of those dreams. i told you it was too good to be true. i told you that you were living a lie. i tried to show these things to you and told you over and over again, but i failed. you failed. because you never even listened. you never looked. and not once did you stop to feel again. now im right. i told you so.
