Feelings
Circumstances make me sad,
Coz people can only disappoint me,
My emotions are not slave to other's whim,
My mind palace has only me as it's sovereign,

When I am sad,
I revel in my sufferings,
To exploit melancholy,
As my muse,

When I am happy,
I enjoy with abandon,
For most its their purpose in life,
I cogitate on it in my recluse...

Feelings like flowers,
Comes with different fragrances and hues,
Petals bloom and wither like emotions,
But the cause is natural unless plucked by people,

People could trigger my feelings too,
But I counteract with my cultivated patience,
An enlightened musk deer who knows the source of his fragrance,
Why would I be upset with other's nuisance...
