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
