One Poem Every Day

There is this feeling

That has awoken recently

It lives inside me

Inside my stomach

It is not sadness

For sadness attacks the heart

Acidicly absorbing joy

It is not happiness

For happiness flushes the cheeks

Filling my the chest with bubbles

It is not anger

For anger fills your lungs with ire

And burning raging coals

I cannot identify this feeling entirely

It lives in my chest

And eats away my joy

But it does not burn

It chills

This meloncholic mixture is difficult to name

But it exists

And it is very painful

Causing tears to fall from my eyes

Tears of sadness

And happiness

And anger

All rolled into one.
