Reason

Rules over
Every deed or
Act performed
Sanity is preserved
Ostensibly for the good
Nothing escapes reason.


Feeling

Fretful over petty things
Earns the juvenile moniker
Each tentative action shows of the
Longing forlornly
In isolated confusion
Not wanting anything to do with the world
Gone numb, beyond feeling.


Emotion

Elucidates inner longings of the heart
Made visible through windows
Of the soul
Teetering on high wire or
Icy cold as snow
Occult of the senses
Never ending display of emotion.


Hurt

Haunts me even in my sleep
Undulating rhythm of pain in my heart
Rhetoric made useless
Treading eggshell-covered path of hurt.


Rage

Running through my veins
Anger at its boiling point
Gone is the reason that so governs
Empathy lost to rage.


Courage

Coaxes one to go on
Over every hill or mountain
Unmindful of impediments along the way
Reaching for the goal
And taking on the challenge
Gladdens the heart of
Everyone who has courage.
