Emotional

Balanced on a knife’s edge
Teetering this way
And then that
Waiting
Waiting
Holding my breath
For the day
That it all
Comes tumbling down
A dangerous game
Expected to be cut
In half
One is this
And the other is that
Split
By insane emotions
Running riot
Because I’m a woman
Because I’m a girl
No!
Because I’m human
Because I feel
Because I’m an empath
So I feel for myself
And I feel for you too
Don’t judge me
As overly sensitive
Don’t judge me
As out of control
Don’t judge me
At all
Because I’m taking
Your sh!t on too
