I spy on my mind’s eye
✨
I spy on my mind’s eye; you have got to be stunningly gorgeous,
just like your will power and emotional gravitational energy.
Part of me believes that your family who sees you daily, don’t see you exactly all the way.
You don’t feel all the way known, even though they say they “know” you.
~ Deep breath. ~
Your feelings are valid - healthy to express, like eating Caesar salad.
It’s not the most fun thing to do, stirring your feelings slowly, as you stir your chicken Gnocchi soup too.
I get it. I understand you.
“Do you feel understood by me?”

It is deeply profound and touches upon the intricate aspects of emotions. To understand human relationships, there is a deep need for understanding. Amazing ✨🤝
This captures heartfelt understanding that makes emotions feel relatable. The blend of warmth and sincerity invites genuine connection.
The mind's eye is another world, a spiritual reality that is hidden in plain sight. Being able to understand a person is a gift not given to all. Nice job! 😊
stirring your feelings slowly, as you stir gnocchi soup - so visual, loved your poem!
The way you describe the struggle is so relatable. It’s nice to read something that just gets it without overcomplicating things.
I love the way this piece blends! The question at the end, "Do you feel understood by me?" really drives home the sense of connection and introspection. Beautiful work! ✨
