Why?

My feelings consume me

they consume others

Why do I have to effect them

why do I have to frighten them

My whole life I have affected others

So tell me, why?

We don't live in a vaccuum . . . this poem's proof positive of that. All of us struggle to keep our emotions from hurting others . . . at least, if we're decent folks, we do. You've got a lot of deep thoughts and a lot of serious struggles in your work. Vent through your poetry, man, that's one of the reasons it's there.
