Do We Really Know How We Feel?
Listening to Your Emotions Is Key
You should feel this You have to feel that Should should should…
It’s not easy to live up to it Everybody’s different
Emotions are so tricky Yet important to understand What they are and why they’re there
Feelings… So different from each other For many occasions Not only is there space for one But various at the same time
Who said it was easy to comprehend? Others may help you But it’s for you to guide your thoughts Reflect on the expressions
Don’t lie to yourself It’s you who can’t be lied to Be free with your feelings
In the end, They will be your helpers and guides
Emotions can drift apart Or swim together Blend to one moment
Are they really there? Will you listen to them?
