Emotions

Our emotions are our enemies,

much more than anybody else,

who forces us to do things?

which we know should not be done,

to eat the junk, to splurge on

things we don't need, to get into

the business we need not pay any heed,

to keep on continuously scrolling 

useless social media feeds and news,

thinking about things endlessly,

from which we should learn and move on,

to keep on worrying about what will come

rather than being brave and say bring it on,

maybe the world is not that irrational

unpredictable and unknown as we think,

may be we are walking like a drunken man,

swayed by our emotions left and right,

hold them, pin them, control them,

for they are the stones creating

unwanted waves and ripples of thoughts

in the mind which is best when calm, still.
