Because emotions kill

I realize this sounds a bit morbid.

They make me hesitate

I don't stop

I pause

Emotions strip your soul

This isn't a bad thing,

just something hard to explain

I can't do the ideal justice

Each emotion takes part of you

Some you share,

others drain away.

They are part of us,

and to ignore them would be obscene.

Deciding how the feelings take your life,

something you can only answer.

Dwell on the dim,

or live in the light.

I want to go out with a smile.

Not so morbid. Going our is inevitable. Do it with a smile and dignity if you can.

When the time comes, I want to leave a smile. I was in an odd mood for this one.

You will leave many smiles.
