Emotion

It's a strange thing-
Emotion...
It makes you crash,
Then let's you soar.
It makes you doubt,
Then gives you hope.
It makes you fear,
Then leads you to believe.
It makes you weep
Then prompts a chuckle.
It makes you fight
Then reach out for peace.

It's a strange thing-
Emotion...
Just when you're weak,
It makes you strong.
Just when you think you're dying,
It brings you alive.
Just when you're at the brink of sanity,
It makes you sane.
Just when you're about to speak,
It catches your throat.
Just when you're about to lie,
It shows you the truth.

It's a funny thing-
Emotion...
It creeps up on you
Takes over
Your mind and heart
Simultaneously lose
