Feelings

Let’s talk about feelings, shall we?

Feelings that take you then make you.

Feelings that come like the first rain drops

The ones that change you

Traveling through different lands

Or sitting in the same place

And yet being complete

Hand in hand with the hand that completes you.

Feelings that build you

And make you smile

And smile when you wake up

And smile when you sleep

And the face that looks prettier

Than all the beauty in the world.

Let’s talk more about feelings, shall we?

Feelings that take you then make you

And break you.

Cause they leave fingerprints

Everywhere they go

In words, in songs, in the stars

In summer days

And dried up flowers

Feelings that kill you

Like poison in your blood stream

That you just can’t let out.

Feelings that just won't go

as easily as the people who got them to you.

Feelings you don’t want

And yet pray for every day

Feelings that make you

And break you in a million ways

Feelings you’ll live with

Every minute

Every hour

Hoping for that one shot

That’ll finally hit it’s mark.

You may not always look

as pretty as you want to

But that does not mean

you’re ugly

                            

And people may not always act

the way you’d like them to

But that doesn't make them

bad people either

Things may not always turn out

the way you would have liked

But that doesn't mean

that you stop trying

Cause the things,

the people,

And you

are somehow still

worth it

in the end.
