Emotions

Fear :It’s not what defines me it’s how it defines human being.

 

   Depression:It’s what the doctor diagnoses a kid that’s dug himself into a hole of darkness and can’t explain the pain he's in. he doesn't understand it. His brother is off to college studying to be a lawyer, his mom is a nurse, His dad died when he was 2; He cries himself to sleep at night because he wants to be like the rest of his family but what he doesn’t know is that one day he’ll be something more so he graciously takes the “happy” drugs and goes numb

 

Suicidal:It’s what that teenage boy that's 17 years old does when he feels all alone.feels like there's no way out so he writes a letter to his family saying goodbye and his little sister walks in the room and he tells her not to worry he's just going away for a while then he pulls the trigger and says good-bye.

 

Crazy: It is when you're different from the norm and go home to the same “What were you thinking” speech from your nieve parents when they see yet another miraculous bruise from some ‘clumsily’ accident at school. In between coded messages and silent plea’s in disguised tears your screaming for help but you know one slip up and the ‘perfects’,’the never could do any harm’,’the straight A's students’,’the captains of every major sport team’ will just tug on your heart strings. Throw more sticks and  stones towards your already broken bones. You hide behind your shield of armor a simple hoodie and some sweats. You live by rules like don't speak unless spoken to, do minimum work as to not draw attention to yourself. Don’t trust anyone. Always look over your shoulder like a fugitive on the run. You know your being manipulated and  not really a waste of space, or even deformed but you take it all in like you just won a million dollars.  What's the use you constantly ask ? Who would believe me? The biggest is burning question is almost always why couldn’t I be normal like the rest? You don't know that being different is what changes the world because your mind is in constant survival mode like a soldier in battle that has yet to be won. Yet soldiers are the ones that change the world.

 

Anger:This is when a man hits his wife that pregnant with two of  his children  for not cooking or cleaning the house right and the wife who has been suffering from the abuse for over 10 years finally has enough and runs away to a friend in texas who she finds out O-d two months prior. She crashes down and cries but not sad tears no theses tears are ones that can scare even the strongest of people theses are tears that’s been building for over ten years that have finally been released from their cages she picks herself of the floor dust off her shoes and files for a divorce

because she realizes he’s never going to change and her children will keep her strong.

 

 

These things that effect and defined so many lives could change in a flicker of a switch.                                                                               

 

Happiness:Is when that amazing mom of yours walks through that door after working three jobs to support your family by paying the bills and  getting groceries after your dead beat father left you at the age of  three and mama puts on a fake smile every month because he refuses to pay child support but that's okay because she tucks you in bed at night kiss you and says sleep tight I love you.                                                    

Confidence:Is when you stand up to those bullies that's been picking on you since the age of four and you tell them that you are not afraid or alone. You tell them your not fat or a whore.that you are the definition of what makes the word beautiful, that you have a purpose in life. You will follow your dreams and in thirty  years it won’t matter what they saw because at the end of the day this is just a time in your life not your whole life.                                                                                                                                                                       

Strength:Is that teenage girl that's only 16 taking  abuse, verbal and physical from her working alcoholic father after being taken away then brought back to the same house that has been giving her nightmares since the age of 6 where a guy beat and raped her and she couldn't scream because earlier that day her father punched her right in the chest so she already was barely able to  breathe and the raping continue until the age of 10 when her doctor finally noticed the scars on her arms that said slave, nothing, useless, and worthless.they weren't from her father or the guy they were from her and a knife.the knife she used to hide her pain the knife that made her feel good. This girl also has 4 brothers that she has been taking care off since the age of 7  she feeds, clothes, and supports them daily she could leave run away no one would notice but she chooses to say so she can go to school and college so she can have an education. This is a girl that has more strength than a 100 men.not the physical kind but the motivation that runs through her veins that strength is something most people would kill for :the strength of having something to fight for.                                                           

Bravery:Is when you see that homeless kid getting laughed at because he's starving in the streets and you send him a gift one he thinks comes from an angel the gift of kindness because you take him and his family in and give them a home and a  gift basket once a  month so they feel like it's Christmas every day.                               

 

Joy :Is when you put a smile on someone's face even if the smile means I'm find. He was old and tired but not weak he was a happy man he died after being one of thousand of soldiers fighting a 12 year war with cancer.that smiles that says he was the best person you knew that smile that says I love you.   

 

 Emotions:They are what gets us through most of our lives what makes us have something to fight for. Every emotion tells a story some good some bad but they are what makes us; us a human being.
