Prisoner of Emotions

Prisoner of Emotions
Its all a bit of mystery, a time of happiness, a fear of the unknown, bobbling up and down in the sea of life;
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 can understand and agree with a poet becoming a prisoner of emotions. Maybe it isn’t for everyone, but just writing a poem brings great relief even with being a prisoner I feel. I like this, and can relate with the emotions. Especially words like “Obsessed by a dream of better life, I search for nothing”. Beautiful.

well written..it speaks the anxiety that life shows and at a particular juncture in life we start being uncertain. That’s wen we start searching for something. At the moment i m going through the same emotion and the end i just can’t get beyond and feel trapped..beautifully explains the Prisoner of Emotions..wow!!
