Sharing Center Stage

I bare
more than most
Emotions
rush through me
insisting on their turn
to take center stage
by storm
and announce
their presence
They fight
over whose turn it is
like small siblings
vying for my attention
I sometimes play
favorites
and allow
FEAR
to be my pet
She is naughty
and requires
constant attention
at times
but COMPASSION,
GENTLENESS
and LOVE
are here in larger force
when combined
Bursts of ANGER
can come out of nowhere
and pummel them to the ground
They cower in the corner
protected briefly by PASSION
waiting to be rescued
by FAITH
who
always
inevitably arrives
and saves us all…
