To those who survive, walking a nightmare, never stopping to breathe-- at least is forced to-- this is for you.
Being constantly restrained in the idea they have made for you is not only a nightmare but now a reality. Every day, our corrupt officials walk freely into our thoughts, our minds, our souls, convincing us we are mere animals without them, but ironically it is they who are nothing without us. For so long, we have been criminalizing our freedom and voice that we have forgotten what it is even to dream. Our hopes and ambitions are being used as target practice in order to demonstrate the power of money and corruption, with each arrow filled with the false reassurance we've been so dependent on, so accustomed to.
"I am your hero. I am your leader. I am your government. I am your Big Brother.".
But to those who are self-proclaimed leaders and teachers, mistaking their power as medicine, this is not for you.
For decades you have been polluting our minds, our aspirations, even our memories. You claim that ours is yours because of the fear that lingers within you that you are nothing without us. You think that your wallet, your bank account, and your safe, are filled with money when all it is filled with is our sweat, our efforts, and our sighs. You force us to compromise our safety for your needs, our voices for your fantasy.
So, to those who live in their bodies, paralyzing their hearts and souls with fear until they have forgotten the difference between "living" and "surviving", this is for you.
Our voices are not handcuffs, and our hearts are not anchors. We never deserved to live like this; to live behind screens as if it were a prison. We will not allow "greed" and "selfishness" to control us when we finally found the source of our worth; because to truly live in peace, one must be brave enough to dive in and discover it in themselves.
So, to those who wander around this world, forgetting to see themselves, this is for you.
Today, we will get to live in a future filled with harmony and grace. No more forced routines, no more silenced thoughts, no more restrained hearts. Chatting freely and expressing thoughtlessly, without being contaminated with fear and sorrow, because to walk, dance, and express without anchors is to live.
This time, you will not live alone.
So, to those who realized what you truly deserve, curious about the luxuries of freedom, this is for you-- and me.
Let us wonder what is to live till we finally ignite the voices in us.
Let us protest a destiny the government has deprived us.
Let us rise from the grave our government has dug for us.
So, to those who allow empathy and self-worth to take them over, this is for you-- and me.
Sincerely,
The soul in you that desperately tries to live.
