Emotion

by Brittany C   Oct 16, 2008


Crying and laughing at the same time.
Gasping, struggling to catch my breath
only for you to steal it away again.
Happy, sad this is just too much.

Confused emotions swirl inside
tidal waves crashing and pounding me.
Raw emotion tiring me out.
Leaving me open, vulnerable.

Worn and torn, by mixed signals
that you always throw my way.

    This is a really good stanza , other than the second line . I think it can be rewritten .

    Short , but lots of emotion put into it at the same time . Decent . 5/5

    I really enjoyed this piece.

    It was relatively short yet full of so many conflicting emotions and filled with so much depth, while the imagery throughout is beautiful and creates beautiful pictures for me as the reader.

    I found the flow to be good throughout, just rolled right off my tounge.

    ^^ I frikken LOVE those closing lines, so many people will be able to relate to that and it makes for a powerful ending to the piece.

    I think this is beautifully written.
