Emotional Slave

I'm a slave to my emotions they control my thoughts, my actions my mind I'm a ticking time-bomb of emotional reactions unable to function like the rest of humankind My love is overwhelming, intensive fills me with such warmth but all of my brain is sensitive and the smallest of events sends me into a spiral and I'm drowning in self-made currents Daily I struggle for control for freedom I struggle to feel how I should some days I get it, I get out of the lull some days I spiral back into my hole sometimes it feels like freedom's a reachable goal but the emotions, the strain, always take their toll sometimes all my hard work seems to be made null The bad days feel unbearable But the good days - all of those yesterdays I look back to - The good days make life beautiful I wish those emotions from yesterday would last me through today but my mind just can't resolve itself to let good emotions stay
