A Castle Of Emotions

I tied my hair into a bun,

Wore my shoes to see the fun,

I stepped out and in the light,

The door opened giving me a fright,

I saw the surroundings change,

And the cold wind in summer hit my face strange

I took a step ahead,

To see what's around me and register it in my head,

I saw a tree standing tall,

It bore fruits that didn't fall, 

It connected to a river flowing by,

And led to a forest where rabbits fly

The sky changed its color pink,

And the ground bleeding ink,

I heard an unknown harmony sing,

And heard footsteps dancing,

It was the flamingo in blue then say hi

And I felt the knot of curiosity tie

In the forest was a castle deep inside,

Where I was led with a flamingo by my side,

The castle was unusually high,

With eerie sounds to mystify,

It had a large lake in the center,

And I knew I had to enter

The gigantic gate opened on its own,

And in a second I felt a feeling thrown,

In the place unknown,

I managed to find a feeling known,

It was curiosity that I felt,

And nostalgia that I smelt

The sweet vanilla scent hit close to home,

And my feet started to roam,

On the next floor that I ascended,

A feeling in me descended,

As next I felt the feeling of love,

On the floor of dove

I felt a fire in me ignite,

Showing a different light,

Where I learned to love myself,

As it was a precious feeling and rare,

I felt anxious on the next floor,

As I walked through the door

I kept feeling different feelings,

On different times and different floors,

New emotions built as I ascended the tapering tower,

I tried escaping but I found no route,

I tried sleeping but I found no peace,

With no exit, I felt trapped in the castle of feelings,

And I lost hope

I then heard a voice whisper,

The key to lock of the way out,

Is letting go,

To let go of the burden you hold on to,

To free yourself and live on

When I understood what it meant,

I found my self back in my apartment,

The key was acceptance,

Acceptance of feelings and emotions,

Letting go of what held me back,

And loving myself for who I am,

I finally exited the castle of feelings
