How are you feeling emotionally?

Listened to the heart
Felt the cracks and pain
Listened to the head
Experienced it all over again

How are you feeling emotionally?
I wish I had a clue
The heart and head cannot be in tandem
I do the best that I can do

A new place a new home
A craving to be with the old
An old place a familiar life
A story left untold

A dream I used to dream
A dream it is no more
A life I used to want
Emotions I need to store

How are you feeling emotionally?
Lost, alone and afraid
I took the steps I needed to
But life is now a careful tread

I move on each day
Hope for a move of change
I stand still every day
Afraid of things unsaid

A new perspective on how I see things
A settlement for which I used to crave
The door opened with unusual ease
Acknowledgement of errors made

I dream a new dream
A breath of air I want to call my own
The wind is yet to catch my wing
But now I am not alone

How are you feeling emotionally?
Certain, uncertain, happy and afraid
Choosing emotions each day
Waiting for the smile, waiting for the unsaid

Hum of the day
Sometimes I can’t acknowledge what’s inside me. Sometimes I don’t want to. Sometimes it all overwhelms me, at times I want to let go.
