Emotions
I am a master of disguise
I've learned to wear a cloak of lies
I've learned to smile though I want to cry
I am fear
But the fear dispels and I anticipate
Joy so powerful, amazing, and great
I feel the pounding of my pulse and heart rate
I am excitement
Excitement quickly washes away
I feel it rot and then decay
I did not receive what I wanted today
I am disappointment
Disappointment then changes and then explodes
There are no rules or moral codes
What is going through my mind, even I don't know
I am rage
Yet time erodes what was built by rage
And as I sit inside my cage
I am too scared to turn the page
I am guilt
Time continues to pass me by
I feel so much pain I begin to cry
I can't fight the tears and do not know why
I am grief
But the tears are finally dried and gone
Though I do not want to, I continue on
The dusk has finally turned into dawn
I am strength
From strength comes a weak smile
That gets stronger with each step, foot, and mile
No longer do I believe that I am vile
I am joy
And in my joy I remember the past
My experiences will forever last
My emotions have taught me to stand steadfast
I am knowledge
