Emotions Are Complicated

Day 5 poetry prompt

I am in the disarray of complicated negative emotions fear, anger, guilt, worry, pain — I know they are so hard to accept they are disgusting, stressing easily shuns others to be blamed

if for some, they are so shameful others seem to resist, block them all I discovered a way to dispel and be cool

being brave enough to enter them fully let yourself embrace, welcome, modulate grasp to identify, feel them wholly

you will found yourself easily adapting you will be proud you’ll see yourself healing you’ll soon cherish, understand others’ feelings

so be the master of your complicated emotions they will teach more about where you’re going aids you into who you want to become someday

“The only thing that makes us humans are our complicated emotions. Learn to distinguish, profess and rein them constructively to affect others positively, best of all, yourself in creating a meaningful life.” — Josh Balerite Acol
