the things we feel

Heart beats faster.

Rising.

Full.

What you feel consumes you.

You are engulfed in what we have come to call emotions.

Internalized,

your thoughts swim in a sea of anger and fear and love and suspicion.

Rising.

Your eyes are brimming with it.

Your ears are full of it.

-

You hand covers your mouth.

You cannot speak of it.

It remains a secret.

These things you feel most deeply.

Echoing in the caverns of your soul.

But they will remain there.

Where you can control them.

Where they are contained and tame.

-

Rise.

-

From the depths.

You feel.

You give emotions names.

Uncertainty.

Doubt.

Fear.

Interest.

Curiosity.

Passion.

Confidence.

Insecurity.

-

Your self is exploding with it.

Secretly...

You want me to know.

You want to share all this with me.

With the world.

Because there are days when it is too much.

-

You lower your hand.

Your lips part.

A song comes out...

materializing before you.

Into shape.

Color.

Weight.

Texture.

-

What you know,

what you feel,

the deepest, strongest parts of you

are suddenly real.

Tangible.

Undeniable.
