Be raw, be open

Tip toeing through fields of our emotion minefields

Seeing just what triggers make us feel

What provokes or even evokes the good and bad in us

The beautiful and the ugly, the kindness and hateful

We need to experience every bit of this

Just to confirm that we truly exist

To feel so raw, to feel it all

For it to resonate at the root and our very core

It feels so strange, it feels so weird

But the truth is we have nothing to fear

So feel it all, both big and small

Accept that feeling is the most important thing we can do

So be open to it all.

  1. Well-said.. But being raw n open is good only to the extent that nobody can take advantage of it. It is our own responsibility to not let others provoke anything in us and cut them off when we describe our boundaries n they still abuse them. It’s very important to protect our sanity from a world filled with many stupid people who think that they know about someone more than that person knows about himself/herself.
    Just felt like explaining my view, nothing against your poem.. and it’s well-written..😊

    1. I agree with your wise words. We do have to be vigilant against those who would seek to take advantage of this and be guarded to those who thrive on doing bad towards others. We have to accept and identify there are sadly toxic people out there. Thank you very much for reading and appreciating my work though and for understanding. 😁🙏
