WRITING OBSTACLE
Describe a strong emotion without saying what it is.
You could use metaphors and creative description, or you could focus on what your senses perceive when you are feeling this emotion.
Lava Tears
The tremor of your lip,
The wideness of your eyes,
Tears about to fall,
Hot, lava tears.
Lava tears slide down your cheek,
Emotions so strong
They make you feel weak.
There’s a burning in your chest
And on your cheeks,
Your brain can’t seem to
Give it a rest,
All around you,
You’re seen as a mess.
__
_A sobbing,_
_Trembling mess._
Lava tears
Falling for years
And years to come.
Your shoulders are slumped,
You can’t seem to
Keep them up.
Your expression fell
Like snow in an avalanche,
And soon the vibe fell too.
About to fall down
From the dizzy heat
Of lava tears,
_Breathing seems a little harder than usual…_
Heaving is your chest,
In and out
Like a strong gust of wind,
But it’s struggling
To stay strong,
The wind starts to get
Slower…
Weaker…
_Just like your breath._
Lava tears
Still fall,
You seem to have lost all
Control
Of your tornado of
Emotion.
Can’t seem to settle,
Mind in a battle,
Lungs struggling to work,
Heart pounding faster than
Sound itself.
You’re a volanco,
A tornado,
An avalanche,
A disaster waiting to happen,
And these lava tears
Are the first sign
Of an emotional
Apocalypse.
