My Heart Said... To Stay

My heart said…

My heart said to stay.

When your hand touched mine, that day.

And the World stopped spinning when I looked in your eyes,

But how could we cover up all of our lies?

We let them all out, and both our hearts broke.

Our passion was too healthy to generate a stroke.

So you kissed me and caused the jumpstart of my heart,

You promised to never forget to do your part.

From that moment on I was hooked on a drug,

An addiction I got from every hug.

Our fire will never burn out, you said.

And from then on, my heart never bled.

I’ll never regret my souls decision to obey,

When my heart said to stay.

Prisoner Of Emotions

 

 

Prisoner of Emotions

 

in a room full of emptiness,
i am lost, searching for something,
i do not know, searching for something,
that is already within;

confused, tensed, happy, sad,
torn, broken, scared, jubilant,
its a barrage of emotions,
trying to drown me in a sea of sorrow;

is it a fear of the unknown tomorrow?
or is it a confusion of the present?
maybe it is about what happened yesterday?

obessesed by a dream of better life,
i am searching for nothing,
i am being led astray from one to another,
dragging me to the depths of hell and to the highs of heaven;

unable to find the power to fight,
i feel myself being dragged,
against my wishes,
and made into a prisoner of emotions.

I like this poem because I feel everyone could relate to it in one way or another.  I like that its deep, and I like the line “obsessed by a dream of a better life, I am searching for nothing”.  I think a lot of us are trying to find ourselves and what we want to be when we grow up.  I want to make an amazing life for myself, but I don’t know where to find it.  I don’t know where I should go after high school, or what I will love doing for the rest of my life.  A career is a scary thing, I just hope I choose mine wisely.
