SPIRIT OF AN EMOTIONAL MAN

Thoughts and feelings coming out, a story they do tell,

My heart has taken many shots, traveling down strange roads.

Who I am pulled apart by different colors of emotion to understand,

Making sense of what this man is made of, I am strong, I am.

This spirit that lives in me does not want what this body and mind feel,

There’s no logic as to why the body tries to make itself feel good,

As this mind, this emotional piece of matter cries out with pain.

The never ending fight in me keeps me going strong on and on,

A surviving warrior dressed up in armor but can’t be seen.

I have the spirit of an emotional man, the will of the sea,

Strength and toughness of the lion which is fierce, hear me roar.
