Trying to be whole again...

A myriad of emotions,

In a day I feel;

One moment I am elated,

In the very next I am defeated.

Is it the people or my own restless mind,

That just doesn't let me unwind.

Thoughts suffocate me;

People infuriate me;

Every unkind word kills a part of me.

Where is my tolerance;

Where is my patience;

All I have now is helpless emotions.

Trying to be normal,

I break down every time.

When did I become so vulnerable?

The girl in control

Seems a distant dream.

Every moment of introspection is a silent scream.

Yesterday was golden;

Today is a burden.

Tomorrow brings another ray of hope,

To build what lies in crumbles,

To steady the poor heart that trembles;

To mend the loose broken ends,

To become whole again.

So that some other day,

A myriad of emotions,

Don’t bring me down again.
