Sadness

Tear-filled eyes are uncontrollable floods that flow from deep within your soul in an attempt to quench the flames of turbulent planes barreling out of control amid a peaceful blue sky.

Plastic smiles are beautiful porcelain masks that depict ever-content beings who suffocate the wearers within.

Broken hearts are birds beating against their cages, despite their broken wings, fighting to break free from the curses of decisions made in times past.

Quivering lips are normally serene rivers rippling under the hostile breath of savage hurricanes nearby.

Shaky fingers are precious stalactites hanging from wonderous diamond mines that tremble through destructive avalanches that appear in the presence of mighty earthquakes.

Scattered thoughts are tortured creatures screaming silently into your ears with loud voices from inside your brain with no end.

Sadness is a blanket of clouds that hover over a tender daisy, yielding shade and no rain, to prevent the sun rays of happiness from pervading its roots in the field of flowers that is life.
