Emotions, there are plenty. They differ in variety. We hold them in, We let them out Like turning on a water spout. We love We laugh And then we cry. We steal glances Then we sigh. We think We feel We burst with pride And empty zeal. Upon first glance The world seems pure. But when we touch, We’re so unsure. We hide in the shadows Afraid of fear. The reasons why Are so unclear. We’re Spartan With our feelings, Afraid to let them show. But this is life With time to grow, To quench our thirst, Let feelings flow. With arrogance We mock the soul. We’re mesmerized By greedy goals. How to listen We don’t know. Fire crackles And winds blow. We’re so deceived By earthly gains. Who am I? At last remains. Upon my brow The sweat appears. I tremble with remorse At long lost years, For having cried Those silent tears. And now I gaze Upon the stars. I’m no different Than they are. I have a light Which now shines through. My naked soul Appears to you.
