Feelings is a compilation of everything I've been through.
The past years, till now.
My emotions - poured into text.
The things I couldn't say out loud.
I write not only for myself,
but for anyone who's ever felt too much
and didn't know how to explain it.
This isn't just my story
it's ours.
Your feelings, my feelings,
tangled together in words
that try their best to make sense of it all.
I've always wanted to write a story.
But somehow,
I could never bring myself to actually do it.
Each time I mentally wrote one,
the emotions were too loud,
too tangled to put into words.
But here I am
finally writing poetry
after so many tries.
Feelings was once just a thought,
a poem I'd locked deep in my heart.
But that lock opened again
because of someone.
I don't know whether to be grateful
or sad,
that they triggered what I thought I'd buried.
All my life,
I've been the one who feels too much.
The sentimental one.
The overthinker.
The one who pushes people away
before they get the chance to leave.
Over the past few months,
I've battled depression,
watched friendships fade,
and carried unspoken pain.
There's a strange irony
in wanting comfort
from the same person
who hurt you.
I had to let go of someone I wanted so badly
not because I stopped caring,
but because I didn't want to be too much for them.
So I locked my feelings away again.
For months,
I was alone...
until I met someone
who made those feelings resurface.
To whoever's reading this
if you've ever been told you're too much,
please know you're not.
You just feel deeply,
and that's a gift.
You deserve someone who chooses you,
reassures you,
and stays when things get heavy.
I'm not an ordinary girl.
I am intense.
I am emotional.
My feelings are loud.
And maybe that's okay.
Maybe being too much
is just being human
in the most beautiful way.
