Notes About The Poem

Feel your Feelings

Allow yourself to go
beyond numbing disappointment
and put words to how you feel

Stop brushing everything aside like nothing matters
Bring your emotions out in daylight
Don’t hide and gloss them over ~ analyze them

Do away with self censorship
Dig deeper ~ know you’re entitled 
to feelings and to express them

No longer silence the inner child
who gets offended and wants to cry
Be its champion ~ let it speak up and be heard

Feelings are what allows you to 
explore the why of who you are
Expressing feelings is what helps
connect with others through understanding

Feelings are not to be ignored...their our own barometer. Wise words here, Line
