...BECAUSE I AM AN EMOTIONAL BEING.

Today, as I walked, I realized...
I will have done injustice to this life,
if I do not (and cannot) feel.

I want to scream with joy.
drown in my tears
get lost deep in mazes
of confusion, of anguish
body contorted, mind restless
feel terrified enough to
wait for the lion to devour my soul
hug the pain so great that it pierces deep
into my guts
into my lungs
into my being
let anger bring out
the beast in me
the savage in me
kiss love till infinity passes
and some more
let passion takeover
to sing songs that today,
I fail to decipher
scream with excitement
embrace craze till
sanity seems forgotten
to laugh till my laughter echoes
through the walls
through the terraces
through the valleys
of your soul.

Today, I have unleashed
my spirit.
...and I feel fine.
