A World Of Emotions Poem by Cathy Chavis

In the East of my mind I have reserved a place for love
In the West of my mind I have reserved a place for hate
In the South of my mind I have reserved a place for shame
In the North of my mind I have reserved a place for evil
In the Core of my mind I have reserved a place for forgiveness

One thing that consumes my mind is envy

The East of my mind for love; because the sun should never rise without someone to love or to be loved
The West of my mind for hate; because discontent and ill feelings have set with the sun
The South of my mind for shame; because no one ever likes to talk about the things below
The North of my mind for evil; because that's a cold a** place and no one likes to visit
The core of my mind for forgiveness; because that is a territory yet to be explored

Should I decide to love again I have to first stop the hatred
Should I decide to face my shame there is no room for evil
Should I decide to forgive my enemies, only then can I digest envy

If I choose to allow myself to trust only then can I experience free love once again
If I choose to mingle with the various demons of this earth I will continue to experience hatred
If I continue to allow myself to believe that everything below is a secret I will never get to enjoy my sensuality
If I agree to be a part of this cold, cold place then I will encounter evil

I often find myself digging deep for forgiveness and this is a territory that has far less visits

If only I could stop being envious of the love I lack....only then will my love come to me

Did you enjoy the tour of my torment and the world of my emotions?
