Am I angry, or just a scared little boy?
Why am I worried?
What am I running from?
Scared of loving, scared of affection
Scared of longing, scared of caring
Fear of emotion
Give my heart so she can abuse it?
Show love & kindness so she can confuse it?
Where did it go wrong?
Who made my heart so strong?
Why must I question your feeling?
Is there really a place for my heart to belong?
When I close my eyes, I visualize
No fear, no anger, just bliss
Relaxed judgement, I’m enlightened
Then I open my eyes & then I realize
Reality filled with fear, leads to anger
I can’t live like this!
So what needs to change?
Who needs to change?
What should I sort out or rearrange?
Organize my mind
Organize my life
Prioritize my ambitions & dreams
And then reap the fruits of my labour it seems.

I enjoyed reading this, and I especially loved your word choice and rhyming. 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks. 🙂
Delightfully fascinating as usual, a self-discussion evaluating the inclinations, touching on the fears, imaginings, and assessing all to respond more calmly and reasonably. Leading the reader through the reasoning to provoke a more sensible response as opposed to hasty wrath......the key being an exposition of sorts of the "ten-second" rule, delaying a hasty response in favour of a wiser assessment. Lovely. Rather reminiscent of the Word of God that he that is hasty of spirit exults folly, as well as Let every man be swift to hear, slow to wrath, slow to speak..... My take on it. Told with your characteristic philosophizing. I enjoyed it.
Thanks again, I'm glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
