My Feelings Balloon

Fri, 06/29/2018 - 17:01 -- izzyb

My feelings are like puffs of helium being pumped into my body, filling me up

like a balloon. 

No escape. If they don't come out soon the balloon will pop. The only way out is the way they came in.

Through my mind.

A pen can pop a regular balloon, and it can pop my balloon too.

My feelings flow out of me and onto the paper like air flows out of a balloon.

A sigh.

With every word my breathing slows.

With every breath my feelings are turning into a poem.

Free verse like a balloon floating back and forth in the wind.

Slowly... my balloon full of feelings deflates. 

Leaving space for more feelings I know are to come.
