The Inside Whirl

By Cheyenne Cuthbertson

I write all my pieces about something that affects me in life. This one is about emotions and how they feel.

To live with yourself 
 Is like living with
 A thousand people
The swirl and whirl of 
 thoughts 
 Racing through your mind
 Racing down the track
 Down the streets 
    of Manhattan 
Emotions are those people
They surround you
 They are everywhere and nowhere
 Your friends and your enemies
  They keep your secrets
 Alone and isolated in your head
 Cold but warm at the same time 
 Happy and scared and fearful
 The outcome alone.
