Listening to a true crime podcast,
Because I never want to be too comfortable.
I think of the criminal, so called,
And wonder what they would feel
if their family were victims?
And then,
What would happen if children,
Before school became a burden,
Were asked to sit with uncomfortable feelings.
With a simple question,
Can you imagine how it feels???
We want to make children stronger,
But we leave this gapping weakness
So that when feelings overpower,
We are helpless to them,
And thus there is no shortage
Of true crime podcasts.
Were you treated like this? Were you sat down and asked, “How do you feel?” It’s a fine thought, Misty. Many do not know how they feel or how to deal with how they feel.

Not with any real interest in school it seemed as a kid. Feeling are often deemed too difficult and/or messy/uncomfortable to address with any meaning.

Yes. I know what you are saying. And I agree it’s unfortunate.
