Emotions Are Funny Things

Emotions are strange things aren’t they?

They can leave us up on a high in the sky,
Or down in the dirt.

They can leave us totally isolated and empty,
Or fill us to the brim ready to explode.

Sometimes we are alone with one single solemn emotion,
Or overloading us by rapidly changing .

A change of emotion can change our entire day,
Our emotions can change dependant only on the person or people we are with.

An emotion we feel may belong entirely to one person.
We may only feel it with them and none other,
Be it happiness, hatred, loving or loathing.

Yes.

emotions are complex and strange things that can make us do coo-coo things.
All we can do is hope to keep control of them the best we can.

Or, maybe we are just to feel them whatever they are ... smile ... to "control them" might not teach me what they have to offer ... Wonderful writing here Hazel. Welcome to PoetrySoup and I look forward to reading more from you.
