Emotional Shadows

I don't want to talk. its just one of those emotional days

Drifting through a sea

Of scattered thoughts

On endless turbulent tides

That immerge the soul

In a chaotic rush

Of pulsing agitation

 

A riptide of turmoil

Brewing underneath

The fragile skin

Submerging the heart

In conflict of pain

 

Depression sinking in

As the heart feels

Sorrowful  agony

Relentless in vigor

Twisting and pulling

Until the mind cries out

As the tears stream

Down the face

 

In the shadows

Where others can’t see

Blinded by the darkness

Hidden from human sight

A vibrant smile

Makes things seem

Everything is alright.

"Depression sinking in
As the heart feels
Sorrowful agony
Relentless in vigor
Twisting and pulling
Until the mind cries out
As the tears stream
Down the face"
I really love this stanza. Passionate, it triggers an emotional response from the reader. Very well written.

Thank you. I think many of us feel this way at times and I believe that many of us hide it when we are having a not so great day.

Thank you. I think we all have days where we feel like this.

Sometime we need a vibrant smile and to find hope to get up and go forward. Easy to fall to thoughts and memories. I like the hope at the end of the poem. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

sometimes those smiles don't quite reach the eyes which speak of everything. Wonderfully written.

I believe women are masters at hiding what is really going on inside

[Distant horizons]

Those vibrant smiles do cover a lot, don't they? Hope the shadows lift soon

Thanks I was having one of those evening. Moody and broody.

Ouch... sounds like a very rough day... something must go terribly wrong when we question life.

Oh Dale I am a woman and we have emotional mood swings. It is simply one of those days where it feels things simply aren't falling into place the way I want. It will be okay
