Thank You All
The soul is a complicated thing
It can be filled with joy and laughter one moment
And filled with a feeling of utter despair the next
It's the most mysterious of human traits
It can take the smallest thing to make the pendulum swing
Some happenings can effect our moods more than others
But we are strong enough to overcome them
I'm afraid I don't fall into the that category
My ups and downs can be quite extreme at times
Very extreme highs and very extreme lows
I try my hardest not to be too sensitive
But for people like me, it's nearly impossible
It's inherent in who I am
Perhaps this is what allows me to write
To express my feelings
I often disguise the true inner me with humour
It's my way of coping
But my life would be missing a major part
Without my friends to share my poetry
Thank you all!
