Sadness

All hope is lost
My body is still like a tree
I start to lose my breath
I am trapped in a cage
No way to get out
A shadow stomps all over me and walls step in closer
I can hear the thunder and rain
Lightning bolts feel like they are whipping me
No breaks and tears start to fall down my face
I start to move and start to breath
The cage lifts and walls go away
Shadows leave and light shines
My frown turns to a smile
Everything is gone
Happyness fills the air
