Emotional Bundle
Aren’t we all just a package of endless emotions?
Angry
The anger peaks and I fall down,
forever saying sorry
for rash mistakes
and brutal comments.
I never say the right thing
for others to understand me.
Fear
I stop and can’t breathe
All the memories surround me.
Suffocating.
Success
The education system is a funny thing
rewarding people for being hermits
and rope strings you can tie
into whatever shape you want.
Maybe someday I’ll understand the meaning
of all this.
Crazy
Self-doubt lingers
and I am paranoid,
Why would anyone like me?
Strong
Inevitable mortality waits
for those who think we are strong
But I keep running, swimming, dancing,
playing, learning, striving
and we all go on.
Tough
Is a way to say strong
but instead of coming from practice,
it comes from bad experience.
Weak
Tired, painful nights
keep me awake
while you lay sleeping
And I need you.
Blunt
Again, with the anger
I care too much
Say too much
Cry too much
If you don’t want to know the truth
Don’t ask
Forgettable
My memory is too powerful
for I remember your faces
after only once meeting
And yet when I greet you
there is nothing
but a vacant
false look ahead
as if
you have somewhere else to be
Mistakable
Do I know you?
I know your name is Lindsey,
tell me your name is Lindsey.
Weird
Anomaly, freak, stranger
Tic-toc
Walk
Keep moving,
she might see us.
Love
Fleeting, exciting, strange
never in the form
expected
Funny
You told me I wasn’t
but who’s laughing now?
Grief
One too many funerals
as a child
I went,
and only once,
did I touch
the cold hand
of death.
But I had to,
I just had to
feel your hand
in mine, again.
It was no longer yours
cold, stiff, and rigid
not soft, warm, and inviting
like I remembered.
Wonder
Never taking for granted
the fleeting moments
we have here
on Earth.
Life is learned
through loss.
Curiosity is born
when you see
the clock
running
out.
