And IT Feels Good

and it feels good

when I can sit at peace

with you

and me

and all of us in the here and now

and it feels good

for you to tell the truth

and it feels good to be yourself

and it feels good to hurt

and know it is authentic

and the loss

the sadness

the joy

the pain

the participation of this thing called life

and it feels good

to let you know how I feel

to also be aware that doing so can cause some pain

and it is up to me to know the difference or when to not say

everything that is on my mind

I imagine that you would want the same.
