Emotions

IDK what to do

I beat back my emotions

Every single day

Closing them in a box

And keeping them away

But now I’m scared

For what I see

In the darkness

A small flame flickering in me

I should blow it out

It will bring no good

But I am hesitant

What would happen if I add wood?

Not blow it out or throw it

But feed the small thing

It makes me feel all warm inside

But I tell myself I need no king

He makes me feel good emotions

But are they here to stay?

I don’t want emotions

But what if everything changes and he’s ok?

My brain says “Get it out”

It knows the logic, the truth

But my heart gets in the way

What if he brightens your days?
