An Emotional Recharge

Somewhere the sun is shining through While sadness attempts to claim the day, Emotions can sometimes get out-of-skew. Often it is when we do not get our way Which makes us ignore the brighter side, While sadness attempts to claim the day. So easily bruised feelings hurt our pride We allow our emotions to take charge, Which makes us ignore the brighter side. On these occasions we need a recharge Too often we go with the emotional flow, We allow our emotions to take charge. Succumbing to gloom, we lose our glow And, if not careful we become depressed Too often we go with the emotional flow. Feelings too often take over, unassessed Somewhere the sun is shining through And, if not careful we become depressed Emotions can sometimes get out-of-skew.

Losing our glow is never good. "Succumbing to gloom, we lose our glow And, if not careful we become depressed" - this is the problem.

Indeed. "Oh, the sun'll come up tomorrow..." I love that song, which is so hopeful.

So true my friend. Especially in today's world. Emotions will always be there, how we let them affect us is important. We all have our days. I always turn to God when overwhelmed. It works for me. I hope you may also do so and find relief. Thank you for sharing Milton...

I agree, Milt, out of control emotion can be very distructive. A quote for the book. Jonathan Seagull, I think, "Control your emotions ordain your destiny." Allowing one's emotions to be expressed to healthy, allowing them to control your thoughts or behavior is counter-productive in many cases. Your descriptions of the feelings and emotion were well expressed through your poem. I enjoyed the read my friend. Bill
