Feelings Poem by Rosanna Miller

This too shall pass or so they say
But in this moment I am in pain
My eyes are leaking
My head is sore
I don't want to feel this any more

Triggered by words like distance and grief
Tears escape my eyes just like a thief
Stealing my feelings
In a swag bag swamped in black
I just want to get my good feeling back

I thought I was fine
I thought I was dealing
But now it appears that
I was concealing
The truth of my thoughts
My shadowy fears

I'm letting go of my tears
But they keep coming
I'm quite exhausted
But can't take a break
As I'm gonna be cautioned
One work encourages tears and talking, a family vibe with a tribe of like minds.
One work is disappointed in us for being
Anything but perfect at all times.
I know where I'd rather be.
I know what I'd rather do.
But right now I'd settle on having a dry face.
