What if feelings were simply
make believe, and the pain
we suffer just a made up thing?
But they aren’t.
They’re real, aren’t they?
How they rule out hearts.
We let them lead us around
and try to explain to our mates
why we just had to have one more
pair of shoes, or to our parents why
we snuck out of the house to
meet our boyfriend again.
I remember how I used them to
explain my relationship with a
higher power, but ended up
doubting, because I felt like a
prisoner about to be hung.
How quick the righteous were
to drop their blade of intolerance
of judgement. But I escaped.
Briefly, I was absent of feelings,
and free from authority. I thought
I had moved out from under the
snide mouth of the patent leather
of life, too naive to understand there
would still be judgement from those
other misconceived safe places.
My heart breaking like a glass.
Coca-Cola bottle on the sidewalk.
My life there between the cracks
and crevices, where it’s ninety-nine
degrees in the breeze,
but there is no breeze.
Pain grieving in the hot sun of truth,
and in my existence. Do we give into
the black and blue assortment of scars
in the making, or do we fight to move
past the doubt and adversity and
into a peaceful existence?
Can we choose happiness even
if our feelings have no proof?
-Tosha Michelle

A wonderful little truth seeking story. Myself, I’m guilty of these unbridled feeling of great expectations. The heart wants what it wants, at any cost.
I envy those who seem to control there actions better. Maybe the grandparent effect, in time wisdom allows humilty, not to think less of ourselves, but think of ourselves less.

For poets, isn’t it always true that our emotions rule our lives? We don’t look at the universe the same way others do. and it makes us love it so much more but it also makes us skeptical of about things that offer a “quick relief to pain”
We know that life is pain…and there is pain even in the happy moments. Our hearts pick up the vibrations of the universe and translate them into pure emotion, which we show other people who exist in this place with us. Often times what we show them is something they do not want see…or which prove that something they have thought to be true…for a very long time…may in fact be a figment of their own imagination.
Love this, Tosha. All my best, Poetess. ❤

Hiya Tosha – you good? I feel that you’re good. Yeah.
Poems are usually incomprehensible but this one that you done wrote really spoke to me. Each line touches me and resonates within like … like I once watched this movie called ‘Black Snake Moan’ – perhaps you’ve seen it? Anyway – I happened to be holding one of my guitars during part of the movie and when Samual L. Jackson was playing guitar (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFkIHsODYPY) – I could literally feel my guitar singing in response. For me, it was a deep, almost sensual experience. This is very similar to how I feel on reading this poem.

Tosha, you make some valid points and bring up good questions about the human system of feeling.
Pain grieving in the hot sun of truth,
and in my existence. Do we give into
the black and blue assortment of scars
in the making, or do we fight to move
past the doubt and adversity and
into a peaceful existence?
I think human emotions are controlled by these little engineer people in our neurons. Trying to say to us when we should feel and how we feel react and feel. It’s all part of the mind and how you control that is up to the persons decision.
Either way, I love this poem and the way you question humanity. Excellent and again another of my favorite poems by you. 🙂
