Something True



Where are the words?
Where are the words to
Describe this feeling, for
That is all I do, I
Describe feelings, because
To feel them would be too
Painful.
But this one cannot be
Put into words
Look! See! I am
Not telling you
Anything about it.
It’s there,
I swear.
But I cannot tell you
How it feels.
It’s like when I felt scared
I was going to be sitting
On a street corner
With nothing to eat.
But not exactly.
It’s like when I felt excited
That there was something
Around the corner
That was going to
Make life wonderful.
But not exactly.
It’s like when I felt anxious
Because I didn’t know
What to do next,
And thought I would
Make a terrible mistake.
But not exactly.
It’s a feeling neither
Good nor Bad.
It just tells me that
I am finally
Feeling
Something
New.
Something
Different.
Something
True.
