Hidden Emotions Poem by Phil Soar

I try to hide emotions, but they haunt my every day
I trust myself to not respond, when hurt gets in the way
The stress of being clinical, and trying not to care
Must have it's implications, but I can't be everywhere

Inside, my moods reflect the strain, my heart must feel it to
I wish I could forget it all, but feel it through and through
And when the thoughts invade my mind, explicit as they are
My feelings duplicate the hurt, like something from afar

So as each day approaches, I resolve to feel it less
My feelings are in turmoil, my emotions in distress
I need to be expressive, and let these feelings go
Because one day, in some odd way, they'll let my body know
