The State Of Emotion
by, wendiann alfieri
The State of emotion
There is the country of the brain stained with the state of emotion,
in it rests the town of grief where everyone cries or dies
that's how they pass the time
where there are no roles to play their whole world is frayed
everyone is blue in the face
no time or place to go
just resting in total sorrow
the town of fury is buried under the ground
people are steaming
with ice-hot feelings
the town of generosity is filled with smiles
given based solely on the belief that there will be relief
long as you smile when someone needs it or not
the town of mystery no one knows what stirs inside all it does is hide hide hide
the town of coincidence lets people accept
that things are strange
and that they change
the town of embarrassment
no one looks up
they all look down at the floor
their faces blush
words turn to mush
stuttering muttering
the words are fluttering
into a pile of mud
they freeze up and always according to themselves
mess up and shuffle
the town of greed in it everyone needs
to fill the need
for needing
not appreciating what they have
just wanting more
and more
even more!
Having everything is not enough without everything life would be so rough
the town of misery people are gray
dismayed ruminating over what they could or would or should have done
if only life wasn't so lonely
the town of superficiality everyone's fake
they change their pace of emotion
with just a flick of a spoken word
the town of dread everyone's dead they walk around upset that something might happen again,
the town of worry everyone’s on edge
they get along with residents from the town of dread
oh no they don't they
are too upset
something might happen if they relate to anyone else
in this state
the town of judgement as long as you are perfect
you'll be okay
or not everyone looks to you as though you have ten heads
because you are different
that's seen as ugly
the town of revenge everyone has a knack for getting back
at everyone else who wronged them
they have no friends
in the end
getting back doesn't work too well
you only end up hurting yourself
the town of acceptance everyone flies across the sky smiling at everyone else
choosing to understand who you are
whoever you choose to be
you're still perfect
the town of glee sees the happiness in this state
the town of enthusiasm has its place
in the town of refrain their unspoken rules don't allow anyone
to talk about it
the town of love is reached after traveling for it
