Emotions


Sometimes I just wish I was numb. 

My emotions run wild and I can’t control them.

I get into this headspace and lose all control. 

I can’t keep getting like this. 

 

Sometimes emotions are good. 

Except for when you can’t control them. 

Except for when you feel too much. 

Except for when you care.

 

I wish there was a switch. 

On. Off. On. Off. 

To make them go away for a while.

So I can breathe. I want one second to breathe.
