VII
JUBILATION!

Edges of my mouth inevitably turn up
expelling the negative force
letting out a primal scream!
Happiness in its truest form.

YES! I could do it.
Butterflies succumb to sweet surrender
fluttering around, permanently smiling.
speeding by my struggles and challenges.
VIII
fatigue
a zombie.
skin pasty white or jaundice yellow.
guts, nothing more.
a mere yolk. protected by weakness and vulnerability.
cracking at any moment.  spilling    out.
one  barrier       gone.
but for what?
IX
POWER!

You, weakling, must die!
I stand tall while you crumble
under my unlimited might
out with the feeble
replaced by the forceful

You cower and laugh,
but I posses what you crave.

I control power, the force of life.
X
Worry
A tiny thought
slowly burrowing
invading the psyche
moment by moment

the burgeoning army of distress
conquers not fellow thoughts
choosing to converge upon
one's thoughts instead.
XI
Anxiety

My heart shrivels
leaving behind a gapping hole
In place of a beating heart

Breath bated
nervously waiting for
some unforeseen event

Fear of Failure pounds down
like a heavy summer storm
trapping my body ever lower 
XII
Doubt

Under all that unwavering strength,
a sudden terrifying bolt of weakness
a stab of hesitancy penetrates
the armor, killing majestic reason

Spindles of error
suspend the knight, in glistering exterior
locked in place for all to see
frozen in the dreadful state of doubt
Emotion
I
BETRAYAL
Like a knife in the back
Like the whisper of swords
Gouging out my heart
and parading around for all to see
mock my pain and sorrow. 
II
ANGER!
All bottled up inside
looking for me.
seeking out a pacifist 
to blast out my wisdom
and pound hope down
to death and destruction
III
chagrin.
unplugged bottle
spilling out tears
that no one sees
blurring what is real

Hoping for a better future.
IV
emptiness.

Head pounds against the air
friends turn into toxins
against society and self
expelling kind words
success could be an illusion
but walls really don't close in.

V
Anticipation
Circles all around
Spinning, Spinning, Spinning.
Random flashes of light
words and numbers hurricaning

The boredom vanishing in lieu
of Life.
IV
Apprehension

Heart racing to the beat of life

Did I get it,
will I be a star or just a clueless nobody,
will I go out with a bang or a pop,
will I be ecstatic or just satisfied,

My skin patters and my stomach contracts
My muscles fill with energy
And I want to burst
My hair pulls itself
My pen taps to my beating heart
My lungs forget to breathe
And my brain forgets to think
will I?
