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.
