The Box Of Emotions

The Box of emotions

We each have this box of emotions

different feelings stored up like some potions

at times we look for that bottle of joy

for that feeling of grief to destroy

but it is hard for this feeling of sadness to go away

yet so easy for us to be led astray

we have all these questions bubbling inside

just wanting to end this terrible ride

we wonder if there is any way out 

or if we will forever be lost and wandering about

different thoughts coming to us each and everyday

still wondering if all this pain will go away

for some there is more joy than pain

some with all the answers and others feeling insane

there seems to be no balance in this box of emotions

drifting away slowly throughout different oceans

people wishing to trade their lives with others

while issues are being sorted out between brothers

peace seeming like the impossible 

and this sad reality seeming like a never ending obstacle

no amount of money can take away this struggle

is there a pin big enough to burst this big ugly bubble?
