Emotions Are Killers,
You think.
You breathe.
And you scream and you cry and you laugh.
Because,
Because Emotions don't change like light switches.
Emotions don't flow in a stream,
smoothing a connection from one to another.
Emotions are rain drops,
beating down on you
from the storm of memories you can not seem to forgot.
Emotions are an onslaught of waves,
crashing down on you,
forcing you under the water you can barely stay afloat on as it is.
Emotions are a bludgeoning of breakdowns in public places
leaving eradicated egos and broken bonds.
Emotions are killers.
For Emotions are unseen and unheard,
Emotions are silicened and blinded to the fact that
You NEED to keep a straight face right now.
You NEED to keep still right now.
You NEED to quit doing that,
quit doing that
quit doing that
Now.
Because despite the fact that we all have them,
we shun Emotions.
We refuse it food,
We refuse it water,
We lock it away within us as it trembles,
alone,
in The Dark.
And we leave them there,
in The Dark.
For,
we are all afraid,
of The Dark.
