I Learnt To Control My Emotions

I used to get moved by your every word I thought you meant everything you said The disappointments were evident For on you I was so dependent Then I learned to control my emotions I was so overwhelmed with you I took everything you did at heart Folks out there even said I'm a fool To allow you to tear me apart Then I learned to control my emotions The love I had for you was pure I sincerely gave you my all You knew this for sure But you played me like ball Then I learned to control my emotions I always felt I was insecure I envisaged this whole thing will end But I just wanted to endure And see if the problem we could mend Then I learned to control my emotions I now know I am the problem Thank you for teaching me On you I always put the blame Painting a picture for you to be Then I learned to control my emotions I'm now going to work on myself And stop trying my best to fix you Change can be initiated by one's self Certainly you will when your time is due At last! I learnt to control my emotions.

This is an interesting poem. If you would give me permission for my Translation class, I would be intrigued to translate it into French. I would love to link up via email for further deliberations. Thank you.
