I thought..



I thought emotions were,
In my control, but no,
Running away from my control, as far,
As they could possibly go

I thought I wouldn't cry,
But to me, they never listened.
To tackle them, so hard i try,
But my eyes start glistened.

I thought I could hide these rebels,
Somewhere in my heart's prison.
But who I was to control these devils,
They started asking me for reasons.

I thought I could tame these,
When i got older.
But it was me, who fell to knees,
And it was they who got bolder.

I thought of emotions as they were my biggest foe,
But then I understood they were here to represent me.
And they were actually the one, who helped me grow,
Then I befriended with emotions and now I can feel myself free.
