feeling feelings

better in than out

better some than none

better feel your feelings

darling girl

let the tears roll

let your skin crawl

let the sounds escape

strong girl

remember this moment

remember the release

remember the growth

same girl


A piece about learning to feel my feelings - all of them. From celebrating birthdays or milestones, to the everyday and mundane, to unearthing everything I was trying to rationalise, everything I was trying to forget. It was my second lesson learned in therapy but by far the biggest action I have taken that has changed my life. Darling girl - she didn't know better and thought her feelings were a weakness. Strong girl - she proved she was better for feeling. Same girl - she had it in her all along.
