To not feel?

To not feel?

A Poem by Jon Roggie

A simple quiet.

Not one dulled.
  Tried it.
     Doesn't work.

To not feel.

I do not see it as an option.

Emotion,
  and subsequent reaction,
    always present.

Process of growth,
  learning to maintain a simple quiet.

yes, feeling just comes, we can't control that...i have been in relationships and during the break-ups---tried not to react, tried to feel nothing...hardest thing to do...the mind reacts, the heart reacts and then the body follows..no way around it.

One thing I have learned is this. Trying to continually suppress emotions and thoughts is a recipe .. read more
Feeling is inevitable, god help those who don't.
Now managing our emotions, reactions to those feelings...
That's a real talent.
Liked this one from you, again.
