Fleeting Emotions

What is this high that I be on

that peaks my inner flow

the raw emotion driven there

by circumstances known

For this good news has brought me here

and now on top I rise

above the normal living state

that brands the average life

What is this heavy load I bear

that brought me down thus far

beneath the modal realm of man

below the average par

For this bad news has brought me here

and thus nether I dwell

where none does seek to find me there

within the depths of hell

And doth this pain of wretched guilt

cast down my soul at will

where shame becomes my cloak of wear

and silence be my shrill

Like ocean waves that crest and fall

emotions come and go

the stable instability

like deepened water flow

And lest they crash upon the walls

within my inner soul

these feelings dwell thus deep within

must not allow to grow

So happy, sad, anger or guilt

or shame or fear or peace

move up and down thus passing by

be best when full released
