emotion

why am i so racked with the pain
of uncontrollable emotion not tempered
with the ability to decipher them and
quite possibly even control who i am?

why were we even created with emotion
at all? emotion tends to cause a lot of
hurt (an emotion) i'm not asking for
perfection i ask for an answer.

fear (another emotion) is the mindkiller
what good are emotions anyway?

without emotion, though,
why would we live?
