Upwelling Emotions

Caught in the moment was I
Forgetting to pause
To take deep breaths
And so I let the emotions overcome me
I observed the frustration, the annoyance of having things
Not go my way.
“Center, and calm yourself!” I wanted to shout
To push aside the negativity away
But stubborn were these feelings
So empathy I sought to invite:
“Take my hand, show me the light”
In desperation, I sighed
I don’t want to fight this fight.
So empathy, take my hand,
Show me the light;
Because in my heart I know,
this is not right.
