Emotions

Why in the world

Could it ever make sense not

To want this deep sadness

Reside in your chest

Because it becomes a comfort

If you hated it

You might be more motivated

To change it

And that's how it gets

And it grows to an extent

I don't imagine I'll ever tame it

Why in the world

Does everything turn brighter

Your heart feel lighter

When you see the joy

In being so free

When I am happy

I feel this inside of me

The sudden bursts

My smile and grace

And most of all

I see your face

Why isn't it enough to love you

Why must the struggle be so true

If I could stand next to you

I would feel your skin

Feel electric with it

I would become this gentle monster in me

Wanting to seduce you

In all the right ways

But I never see you

So no, it's not enough

But it is too

And I feel like the animals do

And I feel like the philosophers do

And I feel like the tortured musicians do

And I feel like you

And I feel like myself at last

And I feel like I'm crazy

And I feel like myself at last
