Bottled-Up Emotions

A spectrum

Of feelings to feel

For later

Until we forget

And they bottle up

When you least expect it

Stumbling out they come

In waves

Each taking their turn

One after the other

With no mercy

Upon the shores of the heart

Made to believe people openly sharing their feelings

Is too much

Most tend to under-share

Jaded by a society overflowing with bottled-up emotions

Generations of people telling each other they feel too much

Upspoken feelings

Unspoken healing
