Learning How To FeelA Poem by RainbowEmerald
Life is a lie
The promises they made When you were so small That everything would work out And it would all be okay in the end It was all a lie just to get you through the night They couldn't handle your emotions They couldn't handle your battles So they told you it would all be ok So that they wouldn't have to deal with it And you grew up, never learning to handle these feelings Which eventually turned to a knife You never learned how to handle lifes scars so you scarred yourself A physical feeling to match an emotional feeling That you don't understand The world knocked you down and you never learned how to get back up So you have to figure everything out yourself Learn how to feel and what your emotions mean At 22 you're teaching yourself things most parents teach their 8 year olds All so that you can teach your own kids How to feel in a world that wants to shut them down © 2021 RainbowEmerald |
