Feelings

Words escape me
I'm at a loss to explain
what I am feeling
Anxious? Wary? Afraid?
Joyful? Optimistic? Happy?
All of these and more
Locked inside my heart
each fighting in turn to break free
To explode upon my existence
Poised to do their worst and their best
Causing the confusion
which now surrounds me
in a cloud of insecurity

these latter few poems are similar in style, yet so different in content. I can't wait for the next one.

It amazed me also, Hey Hey. I picked up my pen and words just started pouring out. I couldn't believe the many different ways I was feeling all at once. I couldn't get the words fast enough on the page. But they all reflect exactly how I feel and what is transpiring at this moment in time. Which is amazing as well as confusing. But good for the art form, I think.
