Unpredictable

a poem by Janaki Rani

You are unpredictable, oh my heart!
A word of scorn tears you apart.
Flattery makes you flutter with delight,
Treachery leaves you in terrible plight.
Given many choices, you waver critically,
Given no choices, you whine pathetically.
You gain friends, by being generous,
You lose them, by becoming jealous.
You reach the pinnacle with strong will,
But easily succumb to habits that are evil.
You melt on seeing others pain,
But ruthlessly hurt them again.
There is no one who understands,
How to satisfy your sundry demands.
