A Whirlwind of Emotions
November 27, 2016
They haunt me;
shake me to my roots.
They shatter me to bits and pieces,
making me question my very existence.
They are swarming bees,
forever buzzing in tangled knots.
They overwhelm me with unwanted thoughts,
and submerge me in a hollow, empty void of nothing at all.
They cloud my vision with guilt, dread, fear;
They tug at the corners of my mouth, until I’m beaming from ear to ear.
They swirl around destructively inside my head,
until I demolish everything in my path.
They write their own stories without words;
create their own paintings without paint.
They tell me right from wrong and
left from right.
They are the voices tormenting me,
forever lurking within.

I decided to write this piece because I've been overwhelmed by emotions lately. It was a bit out of the blue, and I've never really attempted poetry before, but I really do love the way it turned out.
