Emotions

by RustySoul   Sep 8, 2017


Oh ye emotions that rise in me!
Why do ye come uncalled?
And pour forth yourself into
My idle mind and empty heart?

All my moods are but your slaves,
You've held 'em captive under ur spell,
Fleeting passion or bouts of anger
What would be next, I cannot tell.

I'm whatever you wish me to be,
I'm always at your beck and call
Impulsive, angry, happy or sad,
I'm only a human after all.

I'm thus bound by your shackles
And I cannot set myself free,
I earnestly ask you this,
I control you or you control me?

    You are gifted, my friend.
    Of course they control you.
    Telling you a little secret they control me too.

    What a wonderfully rhymed piece, Rusty! A relatable piece as well. Ahh, these emotions are really hard to understand.
