How Do You Feel?

"How does the bird do it?

Flying high in the sky with no fear 

They say you act like what you feel 

I feel like a bird but I hate heights.

How does the horse do it?

Galloping into the battle field

They say you act like what you feel

I feel like a horse but I fear war.

How does the lion do it?

Fearsome and strong , does the gun not scare it?

They say you act like what you feel

I feel like a lion but I fear death.

I feel like the pigeon,

But the peace is too quiet for me.

I feel like the eagle,

But I am the prey

I feel like the elephant,

But act like the ant.

I feel like the human,

But I am the shadow"

One way or the other, we have all found ourselves in these shoes before so I am sure it fits. This poem explores the contradiction between what a person feels versus what they are producing. You have been there, I have been there , the question is, are we still there, planning to be there or never going there again?.

This note is not here to answer your question rather make you find the answer within yourself. I hope you enjoyed it.
