Emotion
What a blessing this thing called emotion
It saves us from acting robotic
It separates us from the monkeys they say
To make sense of this world so chaotic
It's how they define us as humans I guess
The ability to have inner thoughts
But for some it's much easier than others I'm sure
Their emotions are close to the top
So unless you're robotic by nature it seems
You must be aware of the strain
That emotions can be so rich and uplifting
But can also inflict so much pain
I don't know the answer why some of us hurt
While others go on with their day
The ones with emotions that are close to the top
Are the friends to whom I can relate
So unless you're someone who's cold and unfeeling
You're my chum till my very last hour
Just say something sweet and you'll bring on a smile
It will seem like you just sent me flowers
