don't live.

doesn't mean you live.
means you're alive.
means you have the possibility,
the power,
the opportunity to live.
live, you need a fire.

don't laugh.

you fake a laugh on a silly joke
doesn't make you laugh.
your stomach doesn't ache,
if you don't feel your tears in your eyes,
if your mouth isn't tired to stand wide open,
it doesn't make you laugh.
makes you fake.
don't cry.
you don't feel your heart torn into pieces,
if your friend's shoulder isn't wet,
or if you don't see your eyes redden
when you look in the mirror,
it doesn't make you cry.
means you have never felt at all.

CHAOS: The Youth and The World of Wonders.
What had been forgotten, wasn't worth the memory. The youth woke up with no memories of his past. He didn't know his own name or his own origin, but he knew he wasn't alone, at least in this body. There was another one, and both of them didn't know much about each other. They had a conversation, but their conversation ended with a darkening world. The youth woke again, inside a chamber made of rocks. Two kids around- a twin of girl and a boy- told him that he fell from the upper world into the deepest place, where the sun could never reach and a single-season took all of the year. The youth didn't wait long until he voiced his desire of returning to the upper world, but for some reason, the humans here would prevent him and chase him away... and the little girl who only glared at him eventually told him that someone inside her was saying that youth was the worst being he had ever seen. Not to cause trouble to anyone, the youth decided to go away... but he didn't know that wherever he went trouble would always await.
