Heart Feeling Intensely Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Having a dominant mind, always thinking every moment, yet
feelings come intensely and my heart feels them all with
no exception.

Pain, hurt, loss, suffering, all touch my heart entirely,
it never rejects any of the feelings that come into it's
being.

Incessant and intense, delving into depths of my heart,
giving tears an avenue to escape.

Ripping, tearing, and wringing feelings and emotions,
constantly terrorize this heart.

Never rejecting any of them, just allowing them to
completely flow through me, causing a strengthening
of resolve for the future to put it all into writing.

Hoping everyone may see that life can survive even the
worst emotions and turmoil that hits a heart just because
we are human.

Situated in the middle of our chest, we use it as a target
for the barbs and arrows of others who decide to hurt or
harm us emotionally, mentally or physically.

We are all encompassed by it's space in our bodies, even
though we rarely think about it until we are hurt.
