Share Your Feelings

Good or bad, feelings need expression;

they must be recognized and given

freedom to reveal themselves.

It isn't wise to hide behind a smile

when your heart is breaking;

that is not being true to how

you feel inside.

By letting out your feelings,

your pain is released,

and you are able to go on -

to reconstruct your life and

think of other things

that will make you happy again.

Put away the myth that says

you must be strong enough to face

the whole world with a smile and

a brave attitude all of the time.

You have your feelings that say otherwise,

so admit that they are there.

Use their healing power

to put the past behind you,

and realize that those expressive

stirrings in your heart

are very much a part of you.

Use them to get better,

to find peace within,

to be true to yourself.
