Feelings

I feel grateful today for all I've known,
I feel grateful today for all that I've been shown.
I feel blessed today to create the destiny for myself that I choose,
I feel peaceful today for no more do I care of whether I win or loose.

I feel pain today, my body resonates with a numbing discomfort that doesn't leave,
I feel physically drained out today, no more tears left to even grieve.
I feel worn out today, no more energy left to even smile,
I feel silent today, a silence that fills my being from mile to mile.

I feel a longing today that has soaked me in its splendour,
Cannot leave this path anymore, it has become my life's endeavour.
I feel a fear lifting off of me today, a fear perhaps of the unknown,
There's a sprout it seems, there's hope after all for the seed that was once sown!
