Distorted Emotions

By: H.B L

Versatile in my ability to feel.
Is it real? 
So many different levels of joy and pain/
Does it sustain or support?
The love that I so deeply sought?
Can I maintain with such an emotional boulder? 
Is it worth the effort?
These feelings that I shoulder?
Am I able to smother this eternal flame?
For events in which I am partially to blame?
How do I begin to heal?
When my heart continues to feel?
and in return continues to break.
Is it that I have earned such a miserable fate?
Do I not possess the will, 
To control the things I feel?
Has the picture been previously painted?
Of a destiny so distinctively tainted?
As a man my world continues to be torn, 
Yet in love my heart continues to be born.
Making happily ever after a far too distant notion, 
Unable to fully blossom due to distorted emotions!
