My Feelings Are Uniquely My Own

People do not know how you feel. They say they do, but they don’t. Our feelings are uniquely our own; you have yours, I have mine, And some I have not even been named yet. Today I had coffee-face feeling; Some may not understand, but I do. I had feelings of being constricted by a large snake Between my chest and my tummy I was being squeezed Tighter and tighter; without relief. If there is a feeling word for that, I don’t know it. I had a feeling I had better send a loving email. It was one of my strongest feelings, So I did it. I always react to my feelings, But they are mine. Not yours. Don’t tell me you know how I feel. You don’t.
