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 gave us an intimate tour of the mind of a woman in this
painful situation.

Emotionally charged with heartrending reality.

I like this I thought it was amazing!

[Dream Slave]

A very fine write you have here. A few grammatical errors but not so much as to make the flow jump out of sync. Sad but it is today's reality. Almost no marriage ends in good terms and even the ones that do, leave gashing scars in our hearts and souls. Write On.

nice job.

[Adam :P]

like the pace, good poem.

[Coyote Poetry]

The closing of one relationship and a opening of a new road can leave you scare and confused. I like the pace of the story. You told the story with a polite grace on a sad topic. I like the ending. A prayer and luck is needed for the most of us. A excellent poem.
