Shedding Opaque Feelings Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Looking at opaque feelings, watching them cloud over,
trying to hide how they feel, so as not to be tormented
by thoughts of other people's narrow-minded views through
emotions and how they should or shouldn't be used in life.

Ignoring all their efforts, comfortably sitting back,
giving feelings a little room and space to take a deep
breath, then coming out into the clearing, shedding the
opaque film they've been hiding behind.
