Battle

Creeping up from behind
my emotions have come to strangle me
while I do my best to keep them caged
(I am a being of rationality)
but emotions aren't rational
and I can only do so much
to keep them from breathing down my neck

How could something stab me in the back
when my heart is what's causing the distress
(why would you destroy yourself?)
Was it me or the adrenaline talking?
I can't take back what happened
so why can't you forget it?

Losing my balance
I'm forgetting what reality is
my feelings keep harpooning me instead
(maybe they have a point)
