Leaping

When it comes to emotions, I sometimes leap, then look.
Someone tells me something,
I take it to heart, then I think about the meaning.
Not my best characteristic, and so I try to change it.
But change is hard.

Sometimes I write to help someone else feel better.
Today, I write to tame the flutters that reverberate in my chest.
There are so many there,
Caused by many emotions.
Most of which I don't feel like sharing yet.

Yes, we're okay out here (thank you for your concern).
I just needed to put my flutters into words.
Sometimes that is all it takes
To alleviate the pain.
