Feelings.
We don't want to harm them
so we
bounce around
never quite nearing
the place where they live,
the place we aren't sure
we would get forgiveness
if
feelings
are hurt.
Feelings.
Who can understand them?
Especially when
they lie
undefined;
you are repulsed, attracted to,
hateful, mesmerized
an instant lover
or trapped in schadenfreude
without even knowing why
that's the reason,
I guess,
some people say its
better to trust the mind.
But the mind itself
is filled with
inconsistencies
that can become thwarted
by what the eyes choose to see
and at times
the perfect balance you need
relies on those
feelings
that alert
you to what
your mind would never perceive.
Feelings are
airy and light
at times heavy and wide
floating around our corners
of fearful images
or our wholesome delights,
they are tormentingly
bright,
when feeding on lies
at times convicted
under truths
we ought never deny
sometimes they are
what we hide from
or what we shamelessly run behind...
Balance,
however is key...
for all that we feel
should not be believed.
As, similarly
feelings can reciprocate
the mind
and become
a battlefield...
that induces strife
against one's self
eventually bursting;
through these feelings
and all the fragile
bubbles that held them...
