The innermost emotions, the powerful horses we are not ready to release
We keep them behind the bars of our unstable stable of feelings
Afraid to let them overpower us, making us seem astonishingly weak.
Until we realize
We are the captives
We are the starving creatures exhausted by our norms.
Our emotions, like a carousel, are horses rotating around our nature
We are stuck there, on the platform..
Dizzied by the ride
Wanting to exit
But the merry-go-round is still whirling..
We don't know that just by holding the pole that emerges from the horse's head,
We are embracing the most important part of us,
Our emotions.
And no matter how much these series of emotions keep recurring,
We are holding tight
Accepting the ups and downs of the horse we are on
In fact,
We begin to enjoy the ride
Instead of just standing on the platform
Seemingly lost,
Dizzy
Anxious
Helpless
And confused.
