Array ( [sid] => 64251 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => War of emotions [time] => 2004-09-18 17:53:49 [hometext] => Emotions are something we all experience, sometimes they contridict each other and fight within us. All comments are greatly appreciated. [bodytext] => The waves,
are splashing over me,
as pleasant filled memories fill my mind,
but I know,
soon,
as they always do,
the storms will come.
I watch,
as the gentleness of the ocean,
turns to terror,
as once again I am reliving my horror,
before my eyes.
The crashing is all I can hear,
for it,
drowns out all other pleasant things.
Slowly,
I watch,
as the sand beneath my feet,
begins to disapear,
As I myself,
slowly,
become,
like it,
nothing.
Soon,
the waves,
drag me out to the ocean,
I am at the mercy of the water,
my tears.
It is not long,
before I realise,
the ocean represents my feelings,
I am being dragged out with them,
and carelessly tossed around,
turned in one direction,
then,
carelessly,
tossed the other,
for my mind,
like the sea,
is uncontrollable.
I am in a war of emotions,
sometimes I don't understand,
sometimes I wish it wasn't like this,
but I know I must feel,
It is my life.
No longer,
can I avoid the waves,
no more,
can I rise above them,
but the storm,
drags me out with them,
and I become a part of them.
No more,
am I able to do anything,
my life has become part of the wave of emotions,
emotions,
it seems,
is all I have.
I no longer know what to feel,
except to know,
I am overwhelmed,
with too many contridicting thoughts.
Once again,
the wave takes me,
pulls me,
as I once more,
become a part of it.
Slowly,
the wave nears the shore,
exhausted,
I collapse on the sand,
my emotions,
ringing throughout me.
Soon,
once again,
my emotions will become a storm,
but for now,
I lie,
exhausted,
for,
I gave up,
and was left,
at the mercy of the ocean.
I must not,
leave my life,
to nothing but emotions,
I must fight,
I must rise above the waves,
and sort out what I feel,
not lock it away forever,
for otherwise,
they will become,
a storm,
a war of emotions. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 203 [topic] => 48 [informant] => all4jesus_teen [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )
War of emotions

Perhaps we cannot control the sea, but there is one Man that could and can. To often, I for one, look at my own strength to get me through problems. The key is to look into the eyes of Jesus, He will wak with us on the ocean.
Got a bit carried away there, I guess. Lovely poem. I love your imagery. I could well feel the waves, the wind, it was all so real.
Well written.
Take care.
David
