Emotions. Need I say more? It controls ones life half the time, and no one can do anything to stop it. You can attempt to calm down or try to seem more excited, but the feelings are always still the same. It doesn't matter how great of an actor you are; someone will see through you. You may have a composed facade at seemingly every possible moment, but there is always one crack in the mask; something that gives you away if noticed. It could be the sudden forced nonchalance in one's colloquial speech, or the simple expression hidden behind one's eyes. No matter what, it cannot be hidden forever. One cannot abrogate the deal with God or whoever or whatever created you; your emotions cannot be taken away with a simple refusal to comply with a situation. Emotions can either slow you down or push you forward, but either way, you have no choice but to obey your conscience. When caught in an undesired situation, one may scruple over what is happening. Every decision made can be life changing and every choice possibly dire. The seemingly simple choice of whether to go right or left at the fork in the road can toy with a person's emotions for hours. There is always the gnawing fear or guilt, but there is always the undeniable feelings of optimism at what could come. The sudden fear that ensues, the fear of the unknown, blinds you, and the possibility of making a life-changing choice stops you in your place. You want someone to choose for you; someone to exonerate you just so you do not have to make the decision. You do not want to be the one scarred with the stigma of making the wrong decision, but you have no one else with you. The emotions are running in a frenzy back and forth in your mind, right or left, right or left. What good can come of going right? And left? You do not know. All you know is there is a fork in the road, and you're stuck on the decision to choose a path. Well, right or left?
Speaking of making decisions, it is obvious that no one else can make a choice but you. You are the one that decides everything: what needs to be said or done. However, it is not just about choices that need to be made nor the consequences of choosing the wrong path. It is simply about revealing your thoughts or emotions about everything. You do not need an imprimatur to voice your feelings; sure you may need it to visually reveal your thoughts in text, but no one can take away your voice. When one begins to finally think about their true feelings on a matter, it is simply like uncovering a secret under the veil.
If that secret is unveiled, then will it physically show as well? You may show us a smile, but will we know it's fake? You may think it is your typical smile, but it isn't. It is a saturnine smile with emotions hidden deep within the confines of your soul. You feel as if something sorties your heart and everything is just ripped out of you. Every secret you wanted to keep; every memory you longed to forget; every waking moment of your life; every salient figure who has changed your life: all of it. However, it all shows in that one, simple, sad smile. You just don't know that, in fact, we all know what's going on. It shows on your face. Your heart has been unlocked.
