Emotions

Do emotions make me weak
confuse me, frustrate me
do they lessen me
ruin the person I want to be
invading me with doubt and
fear
second guessing and quesitoning
lonely and of no importance

Some days
I am plagued by
emotions
wanting to run from them
bag them up with
the painful memories
and free myself from their grasp

Am I the only one
caught in this tangled web
silently suffering while
trying to stay healthy
happy
wishing I could simply focus
on the light
simply cling to the belief that I can
exist normally
find saftey
and live easily
uncomplicated
free
released from the strangling bond
of emotion
