I fight

And fight

Then wake up and fight again

Against my emotions

Each time

They wrestle me to the ground

With one war cry;

Give Up!

NO!

I fight back

They wrestle me to the ground

I fight back again

A vicious cycle

Circling back to the same point

They won’t go away

These emotions

Won’t quiet down

Where’s logic?

Wasn’t he the head of this household?

Can’t we find a solu…

They muscle me down even before I can finish my sentences

How can we fix…

Down again!

I can’t catch a break

Run!

Says logic in a loud scream

I heed

And run

Run. Run. Run

I turn a corner

It’s them

The emotions again

Too late

They got me again

What do you want?

I cry out

Can’t you go away?

I beg

They are adamant.

No!

Give up! They command

Why?

Just do it! Stop fighting!

I am confused

Do it now!

The nagging won’t stop. Incessant.

I’m worn out

I can’t fight them anymore

I give up

Because it is the only choice I am left

I give up and it quiets down

Alas!

The emotions

Were just passing by

And only wanted to be witnessed

I escort them

Observing

As they go in and out
