Emotions waiting to be opened

ANGER

in a box

on the wall

peeking through

a screen

LOVE

in the air

green scent

raining through

a cloud

GREED

in the closet

holding on

money's reward

shape of sword

HOPE

locked up

in a chest

bursting out to test

FAITH

on a shelf

full of dust

in a book

of trust

FEAR

reflecting

in the mirror

under your pillow

of change

WISDOM

in strings

of the bass

playing blues

on the street

SORROW

in the eye

of the clown

in a car

going in circles

with 2000 others

INNOCENCE

playing in toddlers clothes

of pink ambition

and blue self esteem

DESPERATION

spilling in the cracks

of walkways

to success

HAPPINESS

exploding

from the sun

and moon

screaming

in silence

JOY

in waves

and flames

of the deaf

and dumb

EMOTIONS

hiding inside

a carriage

labeled life

waiting to be opened
