Feel How I Feel

That’s what we need

People want you to feel how you make them feel

That child screaming in the supermarket

All eyes are on you …the parent

How do you feel?

POWERLESS

As does the child…

They aren’t aware of it

But they want you to feel how they feel.

It’s still happening

When we are adults

For good or Ill

Think about it

It’s why we lash out…

If they make us feel joy

We throw that right back at them too

Be mindful

If you feel like hell

After an encounter

Breathe

Count to ten

Try not to throw that handful of shit that you feel

It’s hard

It’s a basic reaction

I’m in pain…

Now …your words

Or maybe your actions created that feeling in me

You can have it back!

With Bells on!

…..

Try to resist that impulse

Unless of course the feeling is good!

Ok

You can spread that around!
