I feel happy 

I feel sad 

I feel angry and also sometimes, even mad. 

I feel hurt, but when someone lends me an ear I feel heard. 

When I see a bird fly high in the sky, I feel excited and shout with joy, hey little birdie, bye bye! 

When I am in the dark I feel fearful and then as the sun shines again, I am all cheerful.

When sometimes I fail at tasks I cry but then, I remind myself don’t stop! Try try !

When I lost my pet I was all in grief but I rose again in belief, the belief in God and the belief in me.

 I know that sometimes things are going to be Okay and sometimes not so Okay but that’s Okay !

 These are my feelings: red, green and blue.

 I am not just one of them. 

I am all of them and they all are true.
