Writing about all these emotions

I believe I should already be able to

Understand, feel and express them properly

Kodwa, I always struggle with showing them

Emotional intelligence is what I lack the most

I miserably fail at showing any of my emotions

I’ve actively kept my emotions locked up

Away from ever seeing any light

A copying mechanism, meant to keep my heart from ever getting hurt

Or worse – Breaking

I’ve turned into someone who’s indifferent

Too impassive to ever let other people’s

Feelings affect me

There are times when I wish I could

Express my love for my loved ones,

But I just don’t know how.
