Torrential Emotions
The soul stirs at your birth,
You breathe, you cry, you laugh,
Your journey begins and you make memories
Without even knowing when!
Those around you teach you much,
After you’re born, you grow, you strive
And deep within, personality develops,
As still you thrive.
Anger, hate, love, envy,
Greed, hostility, all,
You’ve felt, you’ve grappled, you’ve suppressed,
You’ve hidden much behind a wall.
Through experience you’ve controlled
And managed many overflows,
The trigger’s there to spark, to boil,
To raise to fever pitch!
Personalities differ and often
Some need a little test,
To soften life’s blows, control one’s mind
And regulate emotional effusiveness.
c. Poetic Universalisms II by Lena Smith Carter, 2006.
