You can deny angels exist, Convince ourselves they can't be real. But they show up anyway, at strange places and at strange times. They can speak through any character we can imagine. They'll shout through demons if they have to. Daring us, challenging us to fight.
Who honors those we love with the very life we live? Who sends monsters to kill us, and at the same time sings that we'll never die? Who teaches us what's real, and how to laugh at lies? Who decides why we live, and what we'll die to defend? Who chains us, and who holds the key to set us free? It's you. You have all the weapons you need. Now fight!
In this world, there will be a time that we will come face to face with evil (evil defined loosely - with a face unique to each of us) faced. Sweet Pea, who appears frail and powerless, faces her evils not simply for herself... but for those around her that she seeks to protect - to provide - an end to their exploitation (freedom). I am left asking - am I courageous enough to stand up for the things in this life that are worth defending? Am I willing to stand up-in the face of evil-for the things that are good? Courage - will - determination... to face the truth. When you are willing to shed your complacency you will be more courageous than any hollywood action hero.
All I require from you is a slither of a moment. To have you not by force, but simply as a man and a women. To see in your eye, that simple truth, that you give yourself to me freely. Not because you have to, but because you want to. Now of course, for such a gem, I will give as well. I'm willing to give you freedom. Pure and total freedom. Freedom from the drudgery of everyday life. Freedom as abstract ideal. Freedom from pain. Freedom from responsibility. Freedom from guilt. From regret. Freedom from sadness. Freedom from loss. The freedom to be happy. Don't close your eyes; I need you to look at me. The freedom to love.
