I used to battle my emotions with even more emotions

I would turn my eyes into buckets of tears because

when I hurt,

the pain is outstandingly more than suffering a violent punch to the heart

and when I love,

I feel a thousand and one emotions at a time

I feel in a thousand and one languages, I express in two thousand and one ways

I would turn my eyes into buckets of tears till

the water turned into storms and eventually forced my eyes

shut

I would turn my eyes into bucket of tears till I realised that I couldn’t fight it, I couldn’t fight me.

I used to battle my emotions with even more emotions

till I realised that

those

Who are lucky enough to

Feel in thousands,

gifted enough to

Express in multitudes;

are truly the most powerful,

The most courageous

And the most admirable.
