Emotionless

I want to be one less 
You call emotionless
For this heart of mine is like a seed
Waiting on a drop of water to be fertilized.

I want to be one less 
You call emotionless
For my quest from east to west has been fearless. 
Fearless, but maybe somewhat detached to emotions
Detached only because,
My eyes have seen the unseen and shed its share of tears.
My ears have heard the unthinkable and wished they weren’t ears.
My body, mind, and soul have ached in ways it can no longer bear.
I have endured pain, anger, betrayals, lost, and have seen glimpses of happiness here and 
there.
Too many emotions in one, and I have become undemonstrative. 

But somehow despite this broken heart of mine,
I’ve made it this far through this journey call life and all I ask of you is to
Love me just the way I am 
And you will see that I am far from being emotionless
