Emotions

[Keith]

O tragedies,
How you haunt me everyday,
Come back as a sweet memory,
Then watch me decay,

Worse times of my life,
Thought to be best,
Misery my wife,
I'll love her to death,

Vacations in hell,
Dreams of utopia,
My head a prison cell,
This worlds a lonely one,

Emotions are my friends,
Off them I thrive,
Until the end,
They'll act as my sunrise,

Living for no tomorrow,
Dying for a future,
Filled with the innermost sorrow,
My nightmares made fewer,
Yet more vivid from the past,
What is happiness?
But self joy not meant to last,

Shall I continue to sit in this depression?
Let it weigh me down?
I think instead i'll learn my lesson,
On knowledge i'll put a crown,

Let your emotions invoke inspiration,
Not become pent up anger and hatred,
If you learn,
You will not fall victim again,
So do not dwell with concern,
Let emotions become your teacher and friend

I missed this one somehow, however caught it now and glad I did, feels quite heavy and sad but left with a sense of hope. Your words pack a punch and hit some hard topics could they be softened by inference and imagery ? Thanks for sharing TOMH
