Chasing My Feelings

Chasing My Feelings
How am I feeling today? 
Just fine and dandy, wouldn’t you say?
Woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed.
Got my chin held high, and my eye on the prize.
Going out today and conquer the world.
No tears in my eyes and no regrets for yesterday.
Wading in the water and waiting to see what grabs my hook.
Got a fresh start on all that’s going on.
Even though I am going to play by the book.
Who knows what lies ahead, no nonsense and no dread.
Filled with emotions, yet calm and precise.
Scared to death of living, and more afraid to die.
Laughing out loud through tears and doubt.
Glad to be alive for this next round of life.
