Emit

I can tell it,

But it will not listen

As it passes by.

At one point I had it,

But now I can’t find it

So I must buy it.

It’s a challenge to make

But tempting to take

So often I do.

Adversity strikes,

I surely am in it,

Seldom on it.

Laughter and tears

Are all but forgotten

When they’re given it.

If you ask me for it

I will share it with you

Always, openly.

I struggle to quell

The impulse to kill it

Though it will surely kill me.
