Poems From The Heart

I Will Comprehend (a Slam Poem)

Even when I logically think,

I still cannot comprehend the feelings.

The feelings that I feel in my

Head,

Chest,

Hands,

and even my stomach...I can't...

I can't logically comprehend emotions,

For emotions aren't logical.

"Logical emotions"

An oxymoron that I wish wasn't one.

Therapist after therapist,

session after session,

no one makes sense.

They tell me, "you will never understand."

"Understand" is a verb that I do,

it is a word I say when I comprehend

someone's statement...

And even though I comprehend things at a slow rate,

I still do it.

And I will comprehend emotions,

I will conquer my feelings

And I will come out stronger on the other side.
