Expressing Feelings

Expressing Feelings

Is

What It Is

-

My Most Intense Feelings

Are Not - safe to Expose

Not

Because – Literally

That’s What They are

-

But Rather

-

Because

I grew up

In a World

Where

Intellect and Learning

Only

Were the Reality

within My Family

The Only Permissable

Emotion

Was the Anger

of my Father

-

My Tears

Weren’t Ever There

There was No One

to Be – with

In Them

-

Today

I try to grow

Learning from my past

Experiencing

My Present Moments

as Deeply

as I can

-

In this Path

When I Blunder

Causing Pain

and Hurt

as well as

When I Experience

My Own

Deep Emotions,

 

On the Surface

They Jump Out

Often

in What are Seemingly

Trivial – Dribbles

Hidden Away -

in Large Part

While I Cry

Visibly Deeply

(only) –

Where

There is Safety

for Me

in Being

The Emotional

Individual

Person

Who is Male

That

I Am!
