That Feeling Poem by Jennifer Sol

You know that feeling
That rush you get
When you just know
Deep down inside
That everything
Is going to be alright
It comes unbidden and
At the strangest times
Your body is flooded with peace
And your tense muscles relax
It’s like you can finally
Run free in fields of green
After living in a cramped cage for so long
Happiness electrifies your veins
Running and pushing
The sadness out in a flow
Of refreshing tears
You feel really alive
After being comatose for so long
You’re raw and completely honest
With yourself
It’s when everything comes together
And you get it, you finally understand it
The pain, the tears, the longing
You realize you weren’t meant to be
That he’s stupid and obnoxious
And…
That you’ll always love him no matter what
You just can’t do anything about it
You’ve both changed
You couldn’t make it work
Even if you tried
So here’s to first loves
To broken hearts
And to that feeling…
Of finally growing up
