Emotional Fire Poem by Jennifer Sol

Emotional Fire

Rating: 5.0


Like a forest fire it spreads,
Out of control racing through my mind,
Sending sparks of emotion flying.
I don’t know why it bothers me so,
I’ve been in their position before,
I should know that it’s worse for them,
Than for me…and yet,
I find myself bothered by it…
They didn’t do anything wrong,
It’s not their fault,
I shouldn’t even be bothered,
I know nothing would come of it,
If they acted on their feelings…
And the fire spreads,
Burning the forest to ash,
The sparks are faster now,
Shooting out emotions,
That are impossible to understand.
It doesn’t make sense,
Why do I care?
They’re my friends,
They can feel what they want,
But…that lingering fire,
It’s there…and it won’t leave,
I tried to push it back,
But even brighter it burned.
A sudden conflagration,
Anger spikes…
Why anger?
I don’t understand…
I’m supposed to be cool with it,
I’m not supposed to care so much.
And another spike…jealousy…
I am so confused…
Why jealousy?
I can’t possibly be jealous,
I’ve been there before,
It sucks.
An instant flame…fear,
Why fear?
I have no reason to fear anything,
I know that nothing will come of it,
And yet the flames lingers there,
Refusing to die out.
I just don’t understand,
Why do I even care…
And the fire rages,
Destroying everything in it’s path,
Leaving me helpless,
Trying to make sense of it all.
