A Teeter Totter of Emotions by Kelly Doheney

 


Teeter Totter of Emotions


Emotions swirl a turbulent flight;

A mental trap in the dead of night.

The chaos of waves through a stormy sea;

Never knowing which ones are me.

 

One minute joyful, the next minute sad.

All depending on what the moment demands.

Up, down, and all around;

Emotions make a confusing sound.

 

Fear and hope, intwines like a vine.

Calm and chaos blend at the same time.

A tornado suddenly changing course.

My brain is all out of sorts.

 

In this spiderweb, I search for a path.

Deciphering what’s true is not simple math.

Emotions spin as a globe does,

Creating a mental fuzz.

 

Amidst the turmoil, I seek peace.

In this prison, I seek release.

A guiding light to lead my way

Through the darkness to the light of day.

Storm.
