A 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.
