My emotions lead to confusion.


A Horrible Thing

It creeps out of me from every orifice
I try to control it, but it envelopes me;
A horrible thing, is this jealousy.

It shines from me like the morning sun
Everytime it comes I worry less;
A lovely thing, is this happiness.

It radiates from me like a heater
A piercing feeling, like a dagger;
A terrible thing, is this anger.

It screams inside my mind
It is an unwanted intrusion;
A daunting thing, is this confusion.

Jealousy is awful and so is anger and I love the way your poem contrasts these feeling with happiness and then leaves confusion. A good write.

I am lost for words. I have visited so many times to this poem.
I see so much in it, most of all honesty. Sometimes honesty can make one vulnerable. I appreciate this poem as it touches my heart and I think this jealousy is more in your mind than your heart, once it gets in the heart then it's worse.
