Emotions Poem by Tamisha Bellamy

Here I am alone again
Quiet
Sad
Torn apart
and it's all because of you
I can't get close to anyone when you're around
I feel no comfort
No love
No peace
No tranquility
Oh yes, they speak to me but they never look me in the eyes
Do you know why?
It couldn't be that they are shy
No it's because they see what i try so hard to hide
You
my emotions

I always wonder what people see when they look at me
Now I know
It's all too visible
I'm naked
There is no getting rid of the sign on my back
it reads, 'Vulnerable' and 'Sad'

Emotions, because of you I must hide my truth
my story
The only way to seal in what will destroy me the most
my tears
my weakness

Smiling is easily done but happiness isn't what I feel
Why should I play brave?
It's just too much work
Deep down inside I know my blues may never erase

Emotions, you win
I now have nothing left to hold me together
No hand to hold
No lips to kiss
No shoulder to lean on
No friend
Emotions, why do I let you get the best of me?
Love
It's just a tease
It doesn't mean a thing if I can't keep you in
Or should I just pour you out
Emotions
