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.
