Hour 17
Strip me of emotion
So I can do what must be done
Erase this internal commotion
By tomorrow I’ll have won
Kill my desires
Leave only duty and logic
Put out the fires
Then there’d be no need for magic
Clear my mind
The path is straight
Sweet distractions may find
My goals having to wait
What is passion if not fleeting
The ends don’t seem to be meeting
Death to my soul
Struggling to remain whole
Strip me of emotion
So I can do what must be done.
I love how this poem explores the idea of emotions interrupting us, it’s so true, it would be easier if we could turn them off once and a while!
‘Strip me of emotion
So I can do what must be done.’
Such poignant lines!
