Transcript

This is a poem by me,

Niamh Rice.

It's about feeling your feelings.

It's really a diary of a sensitive soul.

I feel to heal.

Sometimes it's inconvenient and all I want to do is deny it.

Sometimes it's overbearing and all I want to do is hide it.

But I feel so I can heal.

Sometimes it just creeps up when I think I'm doing fine.

Sometimes it catches me off guard and completely dims my shine.

But I feel so I can heal.

Sometimes I just want to push it down,

But the feeling just arises.

Sometimes I want to ignore it,

But instead my mind analyzes.

But I feel so I can heal.

Sometimes I just want a relaxing walk,

But my emotions bubble to the surface.

Sometimes I just want to watch TV,

But my brain jumps to fulfilling my purpose.

But I feel so I can heal.

Sometimes I just want some quiet,

But my mind wants to process.

Sometimes I just want some peace,

But my body wants to release.

But I feel so I can heal.

Sometimes I don't want to look so soft and I have to hide my emotions.

Sometimes I wish I wasn't so conscious and I just flowed like the ocean.

But I feel so I can heal.

Sometimes I resent being so sensitive.

Feelings can be tough.

Sometimes I wish I wasn't an empath.

Receiving others' energy can be rough.

But I feel so I can heal.

Deep down I know I've just got to feel.

If I don't numb or distract,

I can make peace and heal.

If I choose not to suppress the dark of my soul,

I can embrace my shadow and I can become whole.

Deep down I know the power of feeling.

Feeling is healing and I'm a healer.

I'm told I feel so I can heal.
