Emotions


They're inside, constantly swirling,
Within, they taunt me daily.
Emotions, they're constantly twirling,
And they destroy me slowly.
 
Love, I thought I had it,
Only to be taken away.
Hurt, now I have it,
It fills me with great dismay.
 
Sadness, now I have it,
It shadows my every day.
Insecurity, now I have it,
And it blooms, as flowers of May.
 
Courage, I had to find it,
And thoroughly seek it out.
Happiness, I had to find it,
Like finding rain during drought.
 
Fear, I used to have it,
It used to swallow me whole.
Joy, now I've found it,
Filled in my heart, now is the hole.
 
They're inside, constantly swirling,
Within, I control them daily.
Emotions, they're constantly twirling,
And now they build me daily.
