Why I loose it

Sometimes I feel like I'm spinning out of control,

Like I'm caught in a storm, with nowhere to go.

My emotions run wild, like a river unbridled,

And I can't seem to keep them all compiled.

 

I lose my patience, my temper, my cool,

And I say things I don't mean, like a fool.

I react instead of respond, let my emotions take hold,

And I end up feeling frustrated and old.

 

But why do I lose it? That's the real question here,

Is it fear, is it stress, or is it something more severe?

Perhaps it's the pressure, or the weight of the world,

Or the expectations that I've let myself be hurled.

 

Whatever it may be, I know I can't give up,

I must find a way to fill my emotional cup.

To take a deep breath, to count to ten,

To find a calm place within me again.

 

I'll give myself grace, I'll be patient and kind,

I'll remember that it's okay to change my mind.

And with each new day, I'll strive to do my best,

To keep my emotions in check, and rise above the rest.

 

So why do I lose it? It's just a moment in time,

And I know that I'll find my way back to the climb.

To be present, to be grateful, to be aware,

And to know that I have the strength to always repair.
