Unbalanced Emotions
The world swirls around, constantly moving in never ending circles of emotion
Sadness and sympathy surround me as I watch friends struggle up mountains and through jungles
Hope runs through my veins as I watch from afar, wishing for them that the pain and hardships would end
Suddenly I'm turning, spinning, whirling, falling as I get dizzy and disoriented
When I come to, I'm enveloped in lies and dishonesty as I watch loved ones fall farther and farther down a hole they don't realize their digging
Forgiveness overwhelms me as I slowly watch them sink, longing to run over and help pull them out
Again I'm reeling, spiraling, twirling, collapsing onto the cold ground
I fearfully raise my head, for who knows what I'll encounter next?
As I slowly stand, I'm encircled with charity and love as I watch my loved ones laugh and smile with one another
Amity fills my heart as I run to them, appreciating every moment I can share with them
Encountering hardships and struggles are inevitable, but we build each other, shape each other, and comfort each other through all emotions.
