The Unexplained

By Emily Skira

What is unexplainable is unexplained

The unexplainable cannot be explained


So how can we contain

Our worries and fears of the unexplained


I’m constantly worried about the unexplained

Solving problems, clearing energy of solemn

To cope with the unexplained


Sometimes I dream of finding the explanation

Understanding our creations

Dive head first into the depths of our souls and brains

Find out if it can all be explained

See every part, and worry, and follow the path

To where it all leads back


But then I wonder


If I explained the unexplained would I then want to unexplain the unexplained?


For maybe the unexplained is rightfully so

And we really are not meant to know

But who can stop us from the curiosity

Of the world beyond what we see


For not knowing is to be protected

And knowing is to be aware


Yet not knowing creates anticipation, waitin’, being patient

And worrying for what is to come or what isn't

But once you know

There's no coming back from it


If the unexplainable could be explained would we even understand?


But if we didn't mention the unexplained, the world could be as happy as it can

For when we are children we don't really know,

We don't really care,

Always protected,

Never aware


But as children, we didn't understand

What it was like to live on this land

The complications and anticipations

And all around and in between


And some could argue that that’s not how the world works

But weren’t we happier?

Weren’t we happy to not know of the unexplained

And to not have to wonder or to wish


To not have to wish to get out of our own head

To not be told to get out of bed

Things are simple


Could I explain the unexplained?

Maybe, I could try

But I’d only wonder who’d be first to cry

Is it you? Or is it I?


The depth of emotion and the world who we are

None if it makes sense from the bugs to the stars

And the bugs in our brains and the stars in our eyes


Do you get where, why, my curiosity lies?


The unexplainable is something I may never understand

But the unexplained, might be something I can
