All But Fake

The spirit is a daunting device,
Of complex emotions,
That suddenly take flight.
Without notice, without care
Strong as the bonds of time,
Soft as your mothers smile,
The feeling is surreal.

What causes these feelings?
These urges to cry out,
These urges to fly away,
These urges to be free.
Why do I let these feelings
Take over me? Let go I was told,
Then it's all clear,
Emotions are nothing to fear.
No need to hold on
To the torn tapestry of reality,
All you need is to hold them near
There is nothing at stake
Because these emotions you feel,
Are all but fake.
