Emotions

A tumultuous sea of emotions inside me roars,

A constant battle between pain and joy, it pours.

Pain grips me tightly, like a vise around my heart

Aching and throbbing, tearing me apart

It steals my breath and clouds my mind

Leaving me helpless, to suffer in kind

Sadness envelopes me, a heavy cloak to wear

Tears fall like raindrops, leaving me bare

Memories flood in, of love that's lost

A heart shattered, with too high a cost

Sadness grips my heart with its icy fingers,

Dragging me down to where darkness lingers.

Anxiety grips me, like a vice around my throat

Breathless and trembling, a feeling remote

I fear the unknown, the what ifs and maybes

Leaving me helpless, to worry like the babies

Anxiety grips me in its suffocating hold,

Making it hard for me to be bold.

Scare grips me, like a monster in the night

Terrifying and haunting, filling me with fright

I try to escape, to run and to hide

But the fear within, it will not subside

Scared of what the future may hold,

I feel like I'm slowly losing my hold.

Happiness fills me, like sunshine on my face

A warm and gentle feeling, a loving embrace

It lifts me up and fills me with light

Making everything seem so bright

But amidst all this chaos and pain,

There's a glimmer of hope that keeps me sane.

Happiness, like a ray of sunshine, peeks through the clouds,

Filling me with warmth that melts away the shrouds.

And though I'm nervous about what's to come,

I know that I'll find my way, my heart beating like a drum.

For life is a journey with ups and downs,

And it's up to us to turn our frowns.

Nervousness grips me, like a butterfly in my gut

Fluttering and stirring, with knots in my gut

I'm scared to move, to take a step forward

But the thrill within, it cannot be ignored
