how to: feel

I am gripping my pen tightly

and laying stiff on my bed


An airplane buzzes by overhead

and YouTube plays in the room over


My shoulders ache, my lungs burn, my hands cramp

from the effort of diving deep

and still I have nothing to show


The clouds come and go

and cars pass by undisturbed

and I am trying to learn how to feel

  6. YES!! So true though. I am only now, at 19 years old, learning how to feel and understand my emotions are valid... or that I have feelings at all.
