Feelings [resubmit]

Feelings are a funny thing
                    Hard to understand
                  Far more complicated 
               Than a orchestrated band
             I have seen the bravest men
                   Cower up and hide
         Afraid to let their feelings show
    So they keep them bottled up inside
          I have given it some thought 
                 And do believe it so
           Feelings are the doorway
         To and from a person’s soul
  Of all the things I've done to myself
               That were so unfair
  No doubt the worst was to bottle up
            Feelings I should share
       Feelings are the highest high
                  Or the lowest low
    But you must learn to let them out
        So you'll have room to grow
 I have learned to laugh as well as cry
        I have learned to use my pen
To share with you a lifetime of feelings
          I had once kept bottled in
    You can think of me what you like
           Think of me what you will
   Regardless of what you think of me 
         Please open up and feel
