Feelings

By Apoorva Bajpai

Sometimes you feel,

sometimes you don’t.

Sometimes you feel belittled,

sometimes you feel whole.

Sometimes you know what you are feeling,

sometimes you cannot even get a hold.

Feelings, feelings, feelings.

Feeling this, feeling that,

feeling happy, feeling sad,

feelings indeed drive us all mad.

Feelings change form day till night.

Feelings haunt you, no matter how much you fight.

Feelings invade your senses

despite the unfathomable heights of your fences.

You know they are parasites

yet you dare not stop them from overwhelming you, am I right?

Because you know feelings are inevitable in life

and sometimes a beautiful sight for a soul’s sore eyes.

Feel because you are alive.

Feel because feelings are the essence of life.
