Feelings

Real feelings aren't pretty
They ooze like a blister
Seeping out every ugly truth and
Unwelcome reality

Fear
Uncertainty
Emptiness
And Remorse
Are not easily shared
Or unloaded from the heart

However, if we keep those
Dark, toxic feelings
Locked in the crevices of our minds
Buried in the tunnels of our hearts
They will slowly infect us
Those silent killers
Until we are paralyzed
