Put Your Emotions Into Words

Put your emotions into words

So they no longer feel

Somehow written in metaphors

The pain is less real.

Like captured in photographs

Is the love before a heartbreak

The feelings are numbed

Only when they exist on page.

It is only when you read them

Or hear them spoken in verses

That you feel the emotions

Unbridled, at their worst.

So why do you waste your time

Embracing someone else's pain

Is your own not enough?

To struggle with everyday.

Reading the words of others

Knowing you're not alone

Makes the journey of a lifetime

Not much as rough.
