    About this ebook

    I’ve Felt It, Too is a collection of poetry that outlines the struggles and trauma the author has gone through in the first 30 years of her life. Divided into sections, it addresses family struggles, relationship ups and downs, losing friends and finding yourself. It toes the line between mental health and spirituality, & trying to find your own peace in the world. It was written from the perspective of someone struggling through self doubt as a byproduct of putting everyone else first, & it’s healing power lies in the acceptance of one’s true self. This book is meant for anyone else who has also felt a little lost in the search for themself.

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      I've Felt It, Too - Kristun Kimok

      alone.

      The Fool

      As much as I want to pretend

      that airing my secrets out

      will take away their heat,

      there will always be memories that burn.

      Those embers linger

      in the fire of my soul,

      & keep me warm

      even when I dream of snow.

      I have always known stories are powerful,

      I just didn’t think anyone wanted to hear mine.

      There is a lot of darkness pressed into these pages.

      But there is also so much light.

      My life is nothing more than a gentle,

      playful expression of my demeanor.

      I am here to help, to ease, & to listen.

      Who you are —

      your morals, beliefs

      how you treat others —

      is so much more important

      than a career.

      Our true power lies in the

      empowerment of our peers.

      Remind someone today

      why they are important.

      Hold space for those

      who have forgotten.

      We all start somewhere.

      As long as the focus is on growth,

      there is no need to rush the journey.

      I’m loving these odd moments

      holding space and learning grace.

      I’ve come to realize that

      what I want

      and what I can achieve

      are two different paths.

      The fork in the road,

      igniting curiosity and separation

      from Self,

      from love,

      from source.

      Which of course are all the same.

      What I desire is machine-like productivity,

      what I am capable of is keeping up.

      I often forget that I’m the one

      setting those expectations.

      Losing compassion for myself

      along the way,

      not knowing when to stop pushing,

      yet understanding that personal growth

      doesn’t abide by my timeline.

      The universe may have my back,

      but divine timing uses her own clock.

      I am the reason my life is what it is.

      The sooner I take responsibility for that,

      the better off I’ll be.

      Every day, there is a different mantra in my head.

      I can observe others’ behavior without being critical.

      There is no need for judgment.

      No need for me to form an opinion.

      Try to break from, or better yet, silence my ego.

      Work towards not having those thoughts.

      Be at peace.

      Know not everything involves me.

      Be receptive.

      Be open to criticism.

      Don’t take everything personally.

      Stop for the smallest second, look around,

      and appreciate the abundance life offers.

      Don’t rush from one thing to the next —

      stop and heal.

      Offer myself patience and time.

      I am a spiritual being having a human experience.

      Sometimes, I need to remember how bad

      it can get to fully appreciate the good.

      This too shall pass.

      I think people are afraid of their power,

      that’s why they so willingly give it away.

      I keep saying I’ve been

      trying to learn grace,

      but every time I level up,

      another obstacle forms in place.

      These challenges are getting harder

      as I’m growing with age.

      All I can do is lean in & move forward,

      try to put down some of that

      baggage along the way.

      I’m starting to think that people

      motivated by happiness

      are the most dangerous.

      The change we want cannot be bought.

      The peace we
