What about our feelings

This is how we felt,

The way you feel, we felt last year.

My heart’s finally thawing,

And the way we felt slowly becomes clear.

 

This is what we felt,

The way we felt, this is how it feels,

I hated the way you talked down to me,

Your hypocrisy gave us the chills

 

This is how we felt,

The way we felt, you’re going to feel,

I’m tired of living a life in fear,

Alas, how we felt, will now be revealed.

 

This is what we’re feeling,

That, “WE’RE NO LONGER ABLE TO FEEL!”

My hopes and dreams, you’ve destroyed,

Our aspirations, ALL OF THEM, you've killed!

it's not about obama

i agree, jean, and that's exctly how i feel. this poem is just something i had to get off my chest. it's my childhood in short. it was rough but at least now looking back i can talk about it.

ah,

I am glad to be wrong. I don't want to sound "new age" but many things suppress us. Give it all! I know you have a lot more to give, kind regards, Jean, meow, bite, purr, yowl and perfect body language express all
