Faking Emotions Poem by Vishal Onkar

I was acting glad, when i was actually sad,
Got all defensive, when things turned bad.
Paddling my way through this emotional pond,
Aimlessly searching my magical wand
Like a Duck
Above the water, I’m faking to be calm & hostile
But Beneath, my webbed feet….were churning a mile
Soon my Defenses shatter & Hell breaks loose
havoc & chaos, got my mind confused
Emotions amplified, one to a million
Someone just pushed me off the grand canyon
I begged, I cried
I frowned, I screamed…
Pleading to God, “please stop this dream”
Then I heard and angel say,
“Stay true to yourself, don’t misplay,
Because in the end, the ones that love you,
Stand behind you,
No matter what state you go through”
