Me As Emotions

I like to think that I am sadness in human form 

My aim is to make despair and melancholy the norm 

You'll find me in the cuts I've made on your arms 

And all the thoughts that plague you about death and self harm 

But sometimes I like to think that I am happiness too 

And you'll find my rainbow shades as you peel away the outer layer of blue  

And in the simple pleasures of life, all of the little things 

In your tattoos, in your food, in every word you write and in every song you sing 

And at other times I take the form of red hot anger, rage that roars 

Sometimes then I can cook up storms and make it rain down and pour 

I will make you forget what's important and what really matters 

And fill you with so much destructive power than everything around you will slowly shatter

When I take the form of fear I can leave you trembling and shaky 

You'll find me in your brittle bones and Lovers who seem flaky 

I will chill you to your very core and keep you shivering silently 

I might even make you antsy enough do something to yourself or someone else, maybe even violently

As I take the form of surprise, you will be having new and unique experiences 

This may be one of the few forms I take every everything need not be serious 

You'll find me in birthday parties, kind gestures and acts of sacrifice 

And sometimes also in random acts of bitterness and words that may not be nice 

Finally when I am disgust you might feel a strong desire to retch 

You might find me in blood, gore and violence, and to some people, even in sex 

But every emotion is unique and divides itself into several sub categories 

They're not always easy to decipher, whether ours or other people's, and often remain complex as allegories
