balloons

2.

my emotions are like balloons.

balloons in the way they're sensitive

to the harshness of the world.

balloons in the way that sometimes

they can't really be contained,

and balloons in the way they

can float completely from my grasp,

so far away that I lose touch with them

and sometimes can't feel them at all.

they could simply burst

in the wrong hands

or following a wrong move.

as humans with emotions,

we need to be more than cautious.

how we show them,

share them -

and who we share them with.

we need to learn

how to hold tight to their strings

and teach others to do the same -

anything to ensure

they aren't swept away by the wind

to the highest skies

and

pop

in complete

solitude.
