Emotional Roller Coaster

A young lady is drowning in emotions.

 

Anger surges through her like a hurricane,

treading on the open sea,

destroying anything in its path.

People stay away from her.

Her fury is hurting herself and others.

 

Sadness washes over her like a spring

rain storm washing the earth.

Gray clouds hover above.

There's no sun to dry her tears.

Why is she so sad?

 

Hoplessness settles in the pit of her stomach.

Her heart freezes up like a winter freezes a lake.

She's on an emotional roller coaster,

spiraling  out of control.

What happened to her?

 

She looks at the divorce papers.

Anger flutters to life.

Sadness so deep inside her,

she feels as if she's drowning.

Hopelessness grows stronger each second.

 

She looks in the mirror, shocked at what she sees.

Frown lines replace the smile she once wore.

Bright shiney eyes no longer sparkle, but are dim.

All the emotions churning inside her, the one she wants

the most is happiness.

 

With a shakey hand she signs her name to

the divorce papers, places them along with her

wedding ring in an envelope.

Sealing closed one chapter of her life.

She sighs, knowing that when one door

closes another will open.

She prays it will bring happiness.

you have expressed the emotional roller coaster one goes through during a separation and divorce quite well. The highs the low the changing of a mood in a matter of seconds.

Yes who is to say that the next door will open with some kind of joy behind it. I can only imagine how hard it is to live your life with one to only one day have them leave/divorce. How does one replace those years? Beautiful poem from a saddened heart.
