catching feelings

by stickysituation

weather is contagious; that they should disclose

you can’t help but smile when a loved one radiates energy

spreading from their fingertips and into your toes.

it isn’t surprising that sadness causes the same infectious chain reaction

but it is misery that sticks with you longer, long after the source of gloom is gone

taking away all satisfaction.

out! out with the woes,

out with dolour! out with the

murk, see how it flows.

after a grievous storm there are two options in store

either all is iced over, feelings turned to frost

or back to the sunshine from before.

  9. Oh, this was so beautiful, and it was the exact thing I needed to read today, I feel.
    I swear to god, everything in, and about your blog, and the feeling it emanates is just… so beautifully perfect- like gahhhhhh, I’m dying.
