Tsunami

I'm a sullen girl
   an angry sea at rest
Calm before the storm
   as the waves in me regress
Like a Tsunami
   I'm calm right before
Then a tidal wave of emotion
   crashes upon my shore
All out of strength
   I'm sinking more and more
Drowning in my troubles
   They're not puddles anymore

Instability in the area of emotions can have a devastating effect on relationships Keely Jane - one minute you feel you're this person then the next you are that person and those who know you might feel they are walking on eggshells too. A Tsunami was exactly the right way to describe this - learning to cope with such an affliction is a different story. Perhaps you could write about how you would advise someone (like me) how to deal with this problem? Keep writing KJ...

Great form and flow, outstanding metaphor for a woman's emotions. Really enjoyed this one, Keely!

I left out "you" on the post below.

Are the raging sea or the shore? One or the other. Your puddles have turned into glaciers, troubles frozen in time. Still a great piece.
