How do you feel
when you don’t know
how you feel?
Something is edging on your mind
Just out of reach
Just out of focus
Just enough to keep you trying
You walk through your day
Oddly affected by the strangest happenings
All of your appropriate responses are off-kilter
Your heart seems on edge
But you can’t figure out why
This is not to tell you why
Or perhaps even what
Just to let you know
You are not alone
Sometimes
The mind and the heart
Do not speak the same language
Confusion reigns
You aren’t broken
It is just the way of life
It comes to all of us
You just aren’t finished speaking to yourself
Take your time
Forcing it never helps
Some things just have to be felt
Not necessarily understood
The light is out there
Beyond the fog
Ever trying to break through
Emboldened by hope
So, how do you feel
When you don't know
How you feel ?
Perhaps-just human
You are still becoming
Still unfurling
Still worthy
Even if you can’t pen it
Keep walking
Keep listening
Keep learning
Keep becoming
