Emotions.

They define us.

Shape us.

Control us.

Change us.

We love,

and cry,

and laugh,

and die.

A beautiful symphony of emotions.

What happens when the symphony is destroyed?

What happens when something,

when someone,

runs your feelings over with their car?

A freight train,

trampling over you.

Crashing,

like the waves of a roaring river,

pushing you underneath the water.

The doubt.

The emotions.

Like a roaring river,

the emotions take over and seep out.

They seep out like sap out of a tree.

Like blood through an open wound.

They take over and cause you to doubt.

To doubt literally everything.

Your very existence becomes nothing more than a dot on a canvas.

A blimp in the story of our lives.

You caused this doubt.

You caused this uproar.

You caused my emotions to rampage,

and my mind to run wild with the possibilities and the thoughts.

The thoughts of what could have been.

The realization of where I am and where I could have been waging a war inside my mind.

A war not seen by the human eye.

A war that goes unnoticed day after day,

but that affects me so deeply.

Creating tidal waves in the ocean of my mind.

Causing a roaring river,

hellbent on eroding away at my insides.

At my existence.
