Cyclonical am I
Cyclonical am I
A wealth of emotions all felt in one
hate, a burning deep seated hate
regret, overwhelming and smothering
sadness, the kind that drowns me, leaving me breathless
hope is this an emotion?
Is this worth holding on to?
Faith is this an emotion?
Is this worth having?
Hope is not for me, one of the hopeless
one who had hoped one to many times in life
faith this is not a luxury afforded to me
all past belief, faith if you like, was stripped from me
stripped through betrayal, torn away from my very bosom
leaving me empty, barren, dry and desolate
no oasis to be found here in this dry, solitary dessert
that is this abandoned, scarred soul of mine
my emotions are as the forces of nature
sometimes sunny, serene and peaceful
yet can get cold and windy
they can also turn into storms with a violence
equivalent to the worst storm ever brewed
when this does occur, leave me be
let me stand free to let forth my torrential outpour
for it does not often happen this way
usually its the sunny and serene, which seem to stay
until all emotions boil, bubble and threaten to erupt into a crucible
of feelings, unexpressed pain, anger and sorrow
but worry not for I will be back to normal tomorrow
Wont’ I?
