Sharing Such Feelings

If someone asks,” how do you feel?”
Will you smile and say, as usual or still?

Would you express your answer clearer?
Like, “ In God’s mercy, I’m good or I'm getting better”?

Or just share directly about such feelings?
Like, I’m happy. I’m sad my Dear for what’s happening?

Then, relay a story of what’s going on in your life?
With giggles of gladness, emote if badly cut by knife?

Answers may depend on our relationship to a person
If closed friends, a sincere revelation without pretentions.

If an acquaintance asks me how I feel or do?
I’ll smile saying, ‘ Fine thank you. How about you?”

If my neighbors ask how I’m doing?
I’ll say, Blessed like you! Then share, no gossiping.

With my best friends, I’ll pour my heart out
Tell my joys or sadness; then, theirs in two-way spout.

NOT ENTERED FOR THE PREVIOUS CONTEST/ANY CONTEST
Reason:  I just added the 2 stanzas today. Left unfinished last Jan. 24 coz of rushed practices at school, then left early the following day for our 3 days camp in the province. No computer ‘til I get back home again. So, i just thought of posting it after completion.
