sorrow
(or "trying to write normal in a how to write your stress away class")
sorrow makes everything
look dull and dusty
it smells like rain that
was not needed (or wanted)
it tastes like a large pill
that never dissolves
it sounds like a buoy swaying
needlessly warning
it feels like old corduroy
on a very hot day
when sorrow takes over
i can't see the sun
(much less the trees)
it's the hole i've dug
deepest
in the land of my emotions
no potion can take me
away from the blue
(true)
"tastes like a large pill/that never dissolves" is gourmet poesy
