Emotional Roller Coaster

I am a very emotional and sensitive person.  Sometimes I get so overwhelmed and consumed with feeling that I just can't contain it.  This is part of why I'm a writer.  Writing is the only thing that allows me to let go.  It does something to me that no other entity can do, including prayer.  I was experiencing a very intense situation on Friday, so I had to let the emotions go, and I wrote a little something to afford me that opportunity.  I thank God for blessing me with this poetic gift, where would I ever be without it. 

EMOTIONAL ROLLER COASTER


Cant shake these emotions inhabiting my soul
My spirit is unsettled, downward spiraling out of control
The ingredients settling around the edges are seeping through the crevices accumulating organic mold
Now growing through my skin scolding burns into my pores
The jumbotron of my heart BLEW UP from the defensive scores
The boards couldn't keep up with the play by play action wars
The plays went something like this:

Run blitz from cover 1 coverage shell
Counter with tight man bump and run hell
Employ tight end stunt to nail offensive blocking fails
Disrupt wide receiver release to prevent pre-assigned run sails
Pre-empt pass rush attempts to force fumble success spells

All these defensive plays my heart made all got expelled
What the hell???

My head is just spinning from all this kick ass opponent winning
Its cutting more spins than the crack sniffs Whitney snuffed in
Rotating more turns than the feces in my intestines churn
Shifting more uncoordinated glides than a bunch of non rhythm having off beat folk tryna do the electric slide
Or the Typewriter to Hammertime
Or the windows fogged up in your jeep R Kelly Bump N Grind
Or the authentic Caribbean style reggae wind and Butterfly
Or even the damn two step ABC move to any old groove

Dammit, you get the point, my mind is blowing more smoke than that NAS Ether that made Jay-Z choke
My chest is so saturated with emotional mess it could soak a waterfall in Niagara West
Plus South, North, West again, and then East
My emotions run more wild than the savage in a beast
Outer space doesnt even have the room for all this heart struck matter to feast
No single extinguisher or hose has the engine for these burning flames to cease

BUT through all that all I needed was to write to regain peace
