we are the only living beings ones fully aware 

that life is pumping blood, working cells and a brain

and the human brain is the anchor

making us humans not only alive, but live.

so when this anchor is harmed the ability to be alive is not

but the ability to live the previously lived life is. 

life is consciousness 

Quiet!

They can hear us,

whispering  wisps of escape 

giving freedom a shape.

Don't talk!

they are listening

while our foreheads are glistening,

with sweat, our hands are wet. 

Still there is no way outside these stalls, we're trapped, enveloped in dangerous walls.

Hush, hush!

They have heard us trying to slip away,

they have heard us scratching at them every day,

I wonder when will they deceive, tattle on us on one sunny summer's eve. 

Hush, Hush!

Again. 

I'm scared my friend.

This might be our end.

They have heard all we have said

and told on us.

Goodbye, for blood will be shed. 

Know thyself,

that is what's inscribed 

and this sentence has stayed on my mind

is growing, learning how to thrive 

a thought that won't stay behind 

for there will never be an answer

no,no, this thought is growing like cancer 

socrates, how can I know myself 

when I haven't experienced all there is to be 

when I haven't seen my decisions in every situation

when I have never felt myself being free 

when I haven't overcome every obstacle 

when I haven't climbed every tree 

who am I and who will I be?

There is not quite an animal as peculiar as the human being and I apologize for our ill-developed qualities, first of all. As the time has passed we have grown more and more selfish, corrupt and greedy. We have grown weak and blind to tricks being played and the goal of many is to earn as much money as possible, money, a thing that does not even exist, pieces of paper, metal and digits on a screen, that we have given worth and if we all stopped playing along, money would lose its power. However, we have created words with a positive meaning: freedom, passion and of course independence. I am standing here after all, to explain the meaning of the latter. It is easy to mistake freedom and independence, nonetheless they are quite diverse. In my opinion freedom does not exist, even if forms of it do, a living thing will never be free of duties, consequences, instincts and consciousness. Though if it were to exist, it would mean being able to choose your own actions, words, anything, free of consciousness, duties, consequences etc. Independence is freedoms sister, she may feel the same, but if one looks closer, one can see multiple differences. Independence means being able to stand alone without falling; choosing freely and feeling comfortable with this choice. Independence is being able to fend for oneself without needing the help of others, being free of the need of help, so yes a form of freedom; freedoms sister. Therefore, dear creatures who do not live on earth, please do not take these few positive aspects of our race from us and leave us be, let us be independent!

words are not enough

because with us, we like to touch

for words are always too rough

it's not about the things we say 

or about seeing each other every day

it's about satisfying the craving

we feel from skin on skin 

sharing the laughs and grins 

an alien connection, avatar alike 

holding each other at night 

but since that day it hasn't been the same

this connection is dying, who is to blame?

Occasionally silence can be loud 

it can be strong and proud 

when the being chooses not to utter a sound

to protest against the ill-chosen words 

Occasionally silence can be depressed

when the speaker has caused too much stress

when to many hurtful words have been expressed

when there is nothing left to be said

Occasionally silence can be snug

two people side by side wrapped in a hug

have used each other as a drug 

happy and content in each other's presence 

maybe I'll break free one day

from these shackles

that I have learned not to push away

they've grown onto my skin 

have eaten all my sins 

have forced me to love and forgive

have made me stop wanting to live 

no I won't ever break free one day 

farewell happiness, I beg you not to go astray 

caught forever , all because of him
