look

look at the big bright sun

as it shines over the boundless horizon

giving a beginning to a brand new day

where you can start anew

look at the luscious green tree

as its sturdy branches sway with the wind

and as its leaves wave to acknowledge

the presence of the beings below

look at the vast blue sky

as it reflects over the sea everlasting

gazing upon its own gorgeous image

all day and all night long

look at the dog with his owner

as it happily prances around the field

making the best out of its life

with just a ball and a stick

look at the stars sprinkled out at night

as they shine despite that darkness that envelopes them

making their way through millions of kilometers

and hundreds of universes

now

look at someone

who doesn’t know what the future has in store for him

wanting to end his pain, his misery

in this life full of surprises

look at someone

who breaks every time a big storm comes his way

desperately trying to ask for help

from the people around him

look at someone

who reflects upon himself, his own image and self-worth

doing his best to find out who he really is

and whether he deserves to be here

look at someone

who’s too afraid to break his walls

trapping him in there forever

’til he’s gray and old

look at someone

who tries to break free from the self-procured chains

losing his mustered strength and courage

like a star burning out

forgotten

as if it never existed

as if he has never gotten the chance to live

so

please

please

take a look at everyone around you
