Mixed Emotions
Hold or let them go?

Emotions can be such transient feelings
They come, and then they go
Like a ship in the night, or a storm at sea
Tomorrow, you would never know.
πππ
Emotions are such transient things
But some stick and hang around
Like the love you have for someone new,
Or that someone special that you found
πππ
Some are so sharp they cut like a knife
And pierce right through your heart,
When youβve lost that one that you loved
And donβt know how to be apart.
πππ
But some linger on and never seem to go
Those deep feelings that you feel
For a mother, father, or a child
Deep emotions that you cannot conceal.
πππ
Emotions can be such transient feelings
We really need to know
How to keep the ones we want
And how we let the bad ones go.
πππ
Till next time,

Well said! So important to know which to keep & which to ditch.
Yes, navigating emotions is one of the trickier things about being a human. Just check the last line of your poem again too.
Really, you stood by the title of the poem! β¨ Mixed feelings... Sometimes I think feelings are weird. Everything we do, we did and will do has been a part of our feelings. Bad feelings? Good ones? It screws my mind sometimes. But, at the end of the day; feelings are what make us beautiful. It's that element of the soul that makes it flourised and grow more. Loved your poem, we do have "Mixed feelings" ππ€
