Sometimes 

Emotions are too much

Too strong

Too there

Too messy

Wouldn’t it be nice to turn them off?

Flip a switch?

No more drama

No more strife

Just… nothing

Someone told me once

Joy isn’t worth pain

I didn’t believe him

I should’ve believed him

Emotions 

They just leave me feeling weak

Glee, misery, ire

All lead to vulnerability 

Weakness is not an option 

Not in this world

So why, oh why, 

is everyone so emotional?

It’s…

Pathetic
