Emotions

Emotions are irrational and useless They don't ask why, just leave me bruiseless They fill my chest, then leave it bare No warning signs, just silence there I feel too much, or not enough The soft turns sharp, the safe turns rough My thoughts get tangled in the flood And every joy still draws some blood I want to scream, I want to sleep Some feelings drown, some burrow deep I laugh too loud, then fall apart No reason—just a beating heart The past comes back without a sound I chase what’s lost, it spins me 'round A glance, a word, and I collapse Some doors once closed just never latch I fight the tide with steady breath But still I flinch, still fear what’s next Not all wounds show, not all pain speaks But it still burns in quiet weeks
