Emotion Is a Poem Waiting To Be Born

Emotion is a poem waiting to be born
Liquid words shaped like a tear
Poems of heroes on their white stallion steeds
Were born from the emotion of fear

Death come to all but the living remain
So comes the emotion of grief
A poem of farewell written with your tears
Can often bring the living relief

A poem of love can say what you can't
For the letters are never too shy
A lonely emotion can last for a while
When someone you love says goodbye

A poem of sadness is written with pain
Depression the emotion from hell
A poem of forgiveness is written with a smile
For it says that all is now well

Emotion is a poem waiting to be born
Laying dormant until it is needed
It can be born through any emotion
But it's usually when we're feeling defeated
