Defenestration | Aaron Pelletier | TEDxBowValleyCollege


feel this need to unleash things within
me so that maybe just maybe I reaches
state of inner peace and clarity or I
could just stay in the comfort of
security with all of its familiarity but
really I’m sick and tired of all the
doubts and fears that have plagued me
here’s a question for you do we have any
predators in a house tonight I speak not
of the sexual type but rather the
emotional and mental species you know
that breed Alexis strip away your
spiritual sanity in your emotional zip
ties ready before you start to bleed out
that they are waiting watching and ready
to strike now you can close your eyes or
whistle at darkness Rolla you wish it
will make no difference for they can
smell your fuse licking their lips
they’ve been waiting very long for this
feast and surely I’m not the only one
who has ever been this hungry to be hard
to pinpoint exactly who I am and most
times I really do not know where I’m
going I’m trying very hard to wake up as
I travel through this land of
sleepwalkers crashing through and into
each other with their faces buried into
a screen seems like the only form of
communication that we have not with
another sheltered in the cloak of fear
we pretend that what we have is real and
our own sense of reality it seems as
their only real truth so I’d much rather
listen to the voices in my head more
than the things that you just said now
you can hold that against me contempt if
it helps distract you from look at all
those things that you keep in deep
within yourself you can go right on
ahead and that’s okay you can hold me in
contempt maybe then we could find a
common burial ground for which you could
place all our judgments in and their
waste the rest of our lives
bonded in hatred is waiting for the
resurrections it’s this dream that
reminds me of a time when I lived in a
box its walls were made of Qaid mirrored
glass and I dwell to miss a dress so um
in my reflection throughout the ages a
suffering trying to make up my mind of
who I was supposed to be and I looked at
the sickening fear and a failing hope
that you would one day accept me
I never should have gone to that box but
therein lies the paradox it was by
defenestration that I found myself or at
least the part of now you may be
wondering where does the social
commentary fit in well I am NOT separate
I’m part of everything and there’s an
energy all around us if I allow it in
it’ll help me keep close to you I feel
the need to release the side of me so I
could take good look at who I really am
and I want to trust the process allowing
it to infiltrate my entire being
because somewhere inside of you there
was a place just like me
we share the same common fears our true
disabilities behind the masks and
illusions there are such sights to
behold if you’re allow me to look in
windows of your soul I may very well
find a fire that combats is cold
inviting it shines so very bright
is it a silence that you find shelter
from the storms and is where we learn
how to live and let just by pulse but
with all heart and pure love is that
which inspires me to enhance and modify
this experience soap in my heart to
trust other human beings is the illusion
that kept me locked in myself has not
been shattered I’m becoming free of all
things I thought kept me safe and
protected and I’ve been liberated from
all the things I thought I needed can
you hard to pinpoint exactly who I am
for I’m ever-changing
even when I get hung up on the things
within me I will move forward and get
closer to the truth my truth for why I
share these words to see see
I’m just looking for connection I’m
seeking out the message
