Feelings Poem by latoya fleming

What are feelings,
Are they just emotions,
That you can’t control,
Are feelings just what you want to believe,
Can you fight them,
Even if you tried,
Because every time,
I try,
They seem to take over,
Even your instincts,
Are pushed to the side,
So why is it that your feelings,
Just that powerful,
That when you step into the rain,
You see the sunshine,
Or when it is snowing outside,
You feel warmth in your heart,
Feelings,
Can cause you to be blind,
To the truth,
So how do you avoid them,
Without being lonely,
How do you know,
When to let your guard down,
Without being afraid,
So are feelings,
Just an emotion,
Or what you want to believe.
