Oh emotions. I hate you so.

You make me feel what I don’t want to feel.
I push you down; I push you away.
Yet you still come and ask me to play.

I think your a curse,
You wrestle with my heart,
and I may explode!
I catch you, I push you down,
and I close the clasp on my tattered purse,
It’ s the only way I won’t burst.

Leave this tired girl alone.
You make me see what I don’t care to see!
You will come, you will come, and take me away.
I’ll let go, and then maybe I’ll go far away.
Where the eyes that stare go and
Perhaps there, you’ll be my friend.
Who knows, maybe there is something better
In that far away place you keep dragging me to.

Oh, how I want to go there now.
Right now when I feel you under my ribs and in my chest.
If I can just write through this, I won’t let you take me there.
But sometimes- I wish…
