Poetry for the Soul

Emotions

Emotions

All these emotions I just can’t describe-

All of this pain I’m feeling inside.

All of this fear that you won’t understand-

‘Cause my tears and your anger come hand in hand.

The cold touch of metal upon the skin of my wrist,

A thought to all those things I have wished-

But nothing comes to mind but the pain of being lost-

And how just of moment of joy came at such cost.

For a brief while there was hope, there was light.

I thought I might have made it out of my fright-

But down came the rain of loss and despair-

Leaving me crying and gasping for air.

And returning are the thoughts that just drag me down-

And leaving are the thoughts without which I shall drown.
