Feelings

When it pours, it pours—feelings, I mean.

A slip of the tongue brings forth sleepless nights—

more humiliation, less humbling.

The restless mind keeps on working,

repeating, rehearsing

things I should have said,

things I should say,

torturing the soul each day.

It pours and pours—feelings I long to let go.

Sleepless tonight; perhaps tomorrow will bring

more humility and less humiliation.
