“Emotions”

Everything we feel, is it just instinct?
Mentally strained for the duration.
Ordinary feelings mixed with raw natural instinct.
Timed responses to keep our minds clear.
Inaction at the fear of the unknown.
Overly protective of that which we keep sacred and hidden.
Needs met or are they?
Senses of smell, taste, hearing, touching, belonging, needing, loved and needed.

Is this what our emotions are or are they more?
Driven to seek one emotion by another is this how we live?
Are our emotions that what we seek or do we seek that which is driven by our emotions?
Emotions shared, emotions hidden, emotions living.
