To care


You want to be free
to be casual

But then the freedom outside
does not matter
if you are caged inside

if you think you are not the person
who can be casual
if you place a high value
on that human-made high value
called love

if you have always longed for
true love
whatever that means for you
at one particular age

You think you are free
You think your choices reflect you

You think he is bound
To his stultifying ideas of manhood
sports, bikes, action movies
make fun of romances....

And you are just as bound
to what you think is "true love"

And you, the seld-aware one
You choose your own bindings
You do not want to let go
You still hope, despite the dystopian worlds
You still believe in caring for one

And casualness
is just a fleeting casual idea
in your life
you were made to care
and care and care
until you bleed
for one person
