Emotion. Sometimes it lies.


Like blackbirds feasting on my bones. 
Apathy to joy. Happy to sad.
The cause unknown.

They rise and fall, carnivorous flock. 
Flipped over, turned back. 
My heart once soft, becomes a rock. 

Fooled by these capricious fiends, 
All of my compassion gone.
They pick me up, to throw me down.
Heart first full, now empty, bleeds.... 

Wallowing helpless in my pit, 
I whisper out my prayer to you.
Please. Pull me up to where you sit. 
Your love forever strong and true. 

I do myself continual harm, 
then reach out bleeding, for your arm. 
Gently speak you, One Most High. 
Again you find me where I lie.

Retrieving me from self-made pain, 
You draw me up to purest air.
Emotions now caboose my train.
Truth alone, this atmosphere.
