What You Feel

What You Feel

A poem by Michael Joseph Farrelly

Listen well, repeat on cue
Torched hell on high volume
Such loud words, facts anew
Clothed in common costume

Look around, confusion reigns
Not because you misconstrued
You want to trust, but it drains
Your faith in systems chewed

Don't replace what you feel
With what they tell you so
Volumed lies don't make it real
Despite their muscled dough

Bewitching tongue, charming eyes
Can only go so far
When you hear barefaced lies
You know it's blah, blah, blah

We all sense the world we know
Floating from our grasp
Constant updates drift like snow
Yet melt on tongues that rasp

Don't replace what you feel
With what they tell you so
Volumed lies don't make it real
Scorn now their fabled flow

Tempt me, tempt me, oh doom-scroll
To bury minds in woe
But feel beneath, in your soul
See through their demon show

Feel the real from your own mind
Align with cyclic shift
The next phase of cosmic kind
Will see the bastards stiffed

Don't replace what you feel
With what they tell you so
Volumed lies don't make it real
Embrace your truth, say no

"What You Feel" - My Inspiration

Remembering not to replace what you feel with what you're told.
