Lost in a Stir of Emotions

My life has been a stir of emotions.

I feel as though I've been thrown into a pot

full of life

with sadness

and joy.

Lately I've been thinking of my loved ones that are lost.

There are emotions that one cannot describe 

because they are all thrown into a pot.

At any moment I can be any emotion and none at all.

They get bumped into me and absorbed into my skin,

causing me to feel overwhelmed with past and present thoughts.

I'm in a bubbling pot of feelings.

How corny is that? 

I want to jump out and be me,

But who am I without my past?

Who am I without my thoughts?

Who am I, if I can't be empathetic,

If I can't feel.

I don't want to know that person 

So i'll sit in my pot and embrace my life for what it is.

Emotions.

Thoughts.

Feelings.

Life.

I am connected and that is what makes me me.

This is a sad, yet beautiful. The emotions are almost palpable.

"I'm in a bubbling pot of feelings.

I agree, without our thoughts we are nothing but mere shadows;born to follow, always blind, dying inside. Our thoughts represent who we are, never subdue them.

A really good write :)
