Confusing Feelings


Don't run from
Don't lash out at somebody else

Accept them as they are
Never forget why they are there

As sudden as they may be
No matter how hard we push them away

They will find a way to escape
You can't run from it, so don't try

They may be unwelcome
They may be accepted warmly

But there is always a choice
To lock and run or lock and accept

Hello, my name is Heather Caffey and I'll be your poet for today! I write everything from short and sweet to long and sad, so if you want something that's somewhere in between or all of them, well you're in the right place! Most of my poetry is based off of my thoughts and random little daydreams and rarely about the people around me or what is going on, though I do write some of those. Have fun with reading and have a slamming day!
