    Torn between emotions

    It is not with sadness
    that I sit; but despair.
    It is not with happiness
    that I sit, but elation.

    Torn between emotions;
    this heart that is mine.
    Torn between emotions;
    is that all my life will be?

    These extremes of emotions
    cloak themselves in anger.
    To feel them without anger
    is to die a violent death.

    Anger filters these feelings
    allowing their power to diminish.
    For either extreme is to
    much for one heart.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
