You say that I am an emotional one,
So much, in fact, that I can come undone.
From highs to lows in the drop of a hat,
No one understands why I'm like that.

Sometimes I'm as calm as a gentle breeze,
Others I rage like the roaring seas.
Days I'm as cool as the snow-covered land,
Some I'm as hot as the desert sand.

What sets me off from one to the next?
A problem whose solution leaves me perplexed.
How do I stop being a Jekyll and Hyde?
How do I get off this torturous ride?

My heart wants to stop this merry-go-round,
To forever stay up and never go down.
To keep from hurting the people I love,
I'm even asking for help from up above.

But how do I seperate the good and the bad?
Can I have happy without sad or mad?
What happens if I do get rid of the wrong?
Will all of my passion just tag along?

If I hinder my emotions and just how I feel,
Will there come a time when I don't feel real?
Still at that cost, is it what I must do?
Yes, it's what I must do, because I love you.

if you chase it,
it will surely fly away,instead
hold it close and watch it grow into
something beautiful"
