just wondering...

can you see, but pretend that you don't?
can you feel, but pretend that you don't?
can you ache, but pretend that you don't?
can you want, but pretend that you don't?
can you understand, but pretend that you don't?
can you listen, but pretend that you don't?
can you drift, but pretend that you don't?
can you know, but pretend that you don't?

...
...

can you see someone bleed, but pretend that you don't?
can you wish to hold out your hand for them, but pretend that you don't?

LOOK! FEEL! BELIEVE! EMOTE! EXPRESS! DON'T HOLD BACK!
if you see something wrong happen, speak up against it!
if something bothers you, don't just keep it in, say it!
if something isn't as you would like it to be, do something about it!
if you see someone in pain, don't just look away!
if you feel strongly enough, don't hold back!
if you want to help someone in need, bloody well do it!
if something bothers you, don't just ignore it!
if something can be put right, don't be afraid to put in the effort!

don't hesitate, don't stop yourself. if you feel it, bloody well show....
don't give up. don't become indifferent.
