Shifting Emotions

Shifting emotions

Feels like swimming in a rough sea

Bluewater

Little bubbles from the waves

He is struggling to keep up

The currents are too harsh

But he can't let go

He is alive and dead

At the same time

Depends on his mind

Shifting emotions

He decides to be strong

He sets into the wild

Slithering the jungle

And all that comes his way

Trees, animals, insects

Walking bare feet

He is scared   

But carries on

Survival is key

He wants to be safe

Shifting emotions

He gets what he wants  

Yet not

He battles

He outsmarts

He delivers

Yet feels lonely

Feels the weight of the world

Feels heavy

Shifting emotions

He walks home after work

In the heavy downpour of his city

He is drenched

There's water all around him

Feels disgusted, but

The sound of rain

The feel of mud on his feet

He is almost home

Yet so far

Shifting emotions

Sometimes feels right

Sometimes feels wrong

Maybe it's for the good

Maybe not

But who's who to say?

Time will make him forgive

But never forget

The things that have

And could've transpired

The people he could've met

The friends he could've made

That impression lost

Those people who could've stayed

Shifting emotions

Is like water

On the seashore

One moment it's there

The next it's not

Sometimes it makes him feel good

Sometimes just soils his feets

How can he be perfect?

How can things only be right,

Always?

Why does being right make him happy

And being wrong doesn't?

Why does he strive for perfection?

Why does he refresh pages expecting people

To accept friend requests

Why can't things be

WRONG

who's who to correct him?

Why do emotions shift?

Why does change happen?

maybe he will never know.
