I am tired
of fighting my emotions
of discarding, suppressing
what makes a part of me
I am tired
of you telling me
my feelings are not right
Angry at you, at myself
for invalidating something
so true to me, to my story
But not anymore!
I am not the same as you
of incapable of speaking up
of voicing out what I feel
So listen now when I say
loud and clear
My emotions, my feelings
are not for you or anybody to judge
Good, bad, positive, negative
they are a part of me
Of my story
Of my heart
The proof that I am
Alive.
Well done – and very true!
Brave, as well. Best wishes.

Brave, strong, and with a dash of hope, like many of your poems in the prior hours. I love them all but this one stands out with tenacity.
