Discovering Emotion

A.M. Morgan

Last night I cried a thousand tears

Because I awakened my inner self

And I felt the weight of all the pain I was trying to conceal

My true feelings have been set free

Love has spoken to me in the dark

Into the light I begin to embrace my own heart

Affection is something hard for me to express

Because I like to control everything in my mind

But true love is not something that selfishness can find

This is not an overnight sensation for me

Temptation and Temporary Liberation still surround me

But I am no longer fighting a battle I can never win

It is not healthy to hold everything I feel inside

Sooner or later my emotions will have to come outside

    I especially liked the line - "But true love is not something that selfishness can find". It is so true.
    I also liked the line "Temptation and Temporary Liberation still surround me".
