Feelings

We all need to feel something,
As humans we are made to feel
That is why we are alive
We live to feel.
 
Unfortunately not all feelings are good or welcomed,
Some we have no control over,
And hurt at so many levels
We wish them away...
 
Other feelings are wonderful and most desired,
We cultivate them,
And want them to grow,
As they bring us a sense of euphoria and well being.

Regardless of the feelings we are experiencing,
We must know that they will not last forever,
They come,
We feel and experience them.

They go away.
We feel nothing now.
We become an empty shell looking to feel.
So we feel again.

Whether we feel relief that the bad ones are gone,
Or sadness that the good ones don’t stay forever,
We feel.
For to feel is to live.

And in time,
We learn how to deal with the bad,
And encourage the good,
For it is not what feelings we experience,
But how we are able to accept and grow with them,
That matters most.
