Feelings Poem by Lynn Jackson

Feelings

I wish I could control them and not feel when I'm sad, and limit when I get mad
I wish I could keep my feelings under wraps and not have to go through all the mishaps that life brings and deal with all the unhappy things
I wish I didnt have to force smiles and pretend just to cover up my turmoil within 
I wish that all the tears would have erased all the fears that we face in life I wish I didn't focus so much on the strife 
But then I remember if I didn't have all the feelings and thoughts in my head then my soul might as well be dead
So I will hold my head up high and be grateful for good and bad that comes my way and thank the lord for another day
