Feeling

To be able to feel is a gift and a curse. The gift has the positive moments where it is happy to know that there is hope, good, and joy in the world. To be able to smile, laugh, live, and love make up the beauty of feeling. To show others they matter. To let people know they are worth it. To express to people the love that is felt for them. Every thing has its bad side. The curse of feeling comes with pain, anger, sadness, and despair. To be able to feel means to know what its like to be heartbroken. To produce the emotions to cry. To have the hatred for others. Feelings of jealousy and rage. Moods of disappointment and lack of care. To want to hide from the world instead of embrace it. Feelings bring on the internal conflict that people have in their own minds and hearts. The war between the good and evil of one's emotions. No, its not about one specific thing. Its just feelings, which are either worn on a sleeve or hidden in a steel box to never be seen. Can one person feel for another? Can someone really know how another is feeling? Can feelings be shared or is it just an individual thing? The darkness that has fallen can bring the feelings that are best left alone, but there is always that little ray of light that brings on the feelings that are best to express and want. If it wasn't for feeling, there would be no love gained. If it wasn't for feeling, there would be no love lost. Hurt and joy wouldn't exist. The world would be just one nonchalant place, and everyone would act the same. As these tears are shedding in this room filled with darkness, the feelings that are best to kept inside are escaping and being released only to oneself. May the person that gets to be in the presence of these feelings have mercy on their own...
