Up, down, up and down The movement of my emotions Contrary to a child on a seesaw This undulation is not enjoyable. The abrupt changes make me dizzy. Whirling, whirling, “ashes, ashes We all fall down,” Yet I don’t get back up. Tired, frustrated, upset, confused, Are only a few of those emotions That are whirling through my mind. I’m caught in a current that is Pulling me towards destruction “we fall down, but we get up” “We fall down, but we get up” These words are chanting in my brain Suddenly my withered flower is in full bloom. Having new hope, I remember that “a saint is just a sinner who fell down” But the catch is he “then got up.” Now my teeter-totter of emotions Has become a balance beam of hope. My emotions are more steady But it is easier to fall off, Yet the ultimate coach is there to guide me along Holding my hand, keeping me strong.
