The Color of Emotions

Red and Blue

By Kim MalonePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

When I get angry

I see red.....

Crazy thoughts run through my head

Sometimes, I lose control

And empty my soul

I can't help how I feel

Feelings are involuntary

But when they erupt

My behavoir is corrupt....

Then it's deep depression

over every single, angry session..

the rage that passes through

The red that I see...

Turns me in me into someone

that I don't want to be

Then, when the rage is gone

I feel the deepest blue

Wave after wave

drowning in emotions

My only way through

Is going through the motions..

Fighting with myself

over preconcieved notions

Sometimes I don't know why

I do the things I do

I guess I am the sum

of all that I have been through

There is no escape

The only way is through

No matter how I feel

I know what to do

I have to make my choices

Silence all the voices

When I look at my reflection

I will never see perfection

I can only learn from my mistakes

Let them teach me to grow

Forgive myself for things I didn't know

Experience all the colors

Life can be a rainbow

Anger and sadness are not

The only emotions I can know

There is a never ending adventure

when I pursue

Not just red

Not just blue

I will overcome what I've been through

To experience all the colors of the rainbow

Let all of the emotions help me to grow

Then I will have the fullness

that I need to know.......
