Like Growth
Interoception Poem
How it feels
Embraced and loved
Beautiful gifts
Wonderful bliss
Emotions need
A place to live
A place to thrive
A way to express
A place of freedom
A place for growth
A path of freedom
How it feels
Authentic
Real
Surreal
Complete
Preserve precious moments
They can be fleeting
Feelings
A whole spectrum
Confusing the whole species
Such a basic thing
Yet so complicated
To experience
Complications
Interference
Love needs transparency
It can be strangled in silence
Confusion
Detachment
Snuffs the light
Out of high vibration
Love needs light
Oxygen
Fuel
To thrive
To be realistic
Strategy can either kill it
Or enhance it
Love needs motion
Rather than inertia
Love in motion
Flowing
Oceans
Growing
Emotions
How it feels
Like drowning
On a rollercoaster
Under a river
Where the current’s out of control
The pull of the moon
Swelling the flow
Passion
Overflowing
Controversy kills
What nature gifts
Takes maturity to move with it
How it feels
Like growth
Embrace it
It’s called growing pains
For a reason
Awakening
To feelings
Coming from under my rib cage
Been hiding there for decades
Strangling my knowing
Suffocating
Unfulfilled
Arrested
Imploded
Tears swell again
Feel like a kid again
How did this happen
Too in love to claim it
Too afraid to risk it
I know it
Who wouldn’t be
Look at the control mechanisms
How it feels
Like letting go
Of my own soul
No choice
Must survive it
Emotions
How it feels
Like life is wound up
Under my skin
Like feelings are forcing
Communications I haven’t used in years
Writing again
Like I did in the old days
When guys took my voice
And sang it out into the atmosphere
Pure genius
While I was caged
Burdens
I lived vicariously through them
Emoting
Putting me on display
Putting us on display
Putting love on display
Busting through
My rusted busted state
How it feels
Like a soul cage
Where my life is divided
Into bits and pieces
Many seeing it
Many singing it
Many living it
Many devoted to it
Reminding me of what I’d rather forget
Forcing me to see
All the love I never had
Triggers his words again
They start spinning
Have to reframe them again
It’s draining
Can’t shake it
Can’t unsee it
Can’t fathom it
Can’t touch it
All the love I couldn’t get
Taboo isn’t the word for it
Intangible
Unrealized
Ghostlike
Mythic
How it feels
I got ish
Hope you read this
Make it another hit! 🤘
So Be It
