lost in the darkness
no mind, no morals, no me
something, anything
fearing present and future

stab in the belly
cravings for the forbidden
quiet resentment
constant comparing to you
always unattainable

fists clenched and lightly trembling
blood rising up through the skin

knot in the stomach

everything becomes nothing

Ubiquity VIII : Emotions : Happiness
two upturned corners
crinkling, sparkling, gentle eyes
shoulders perking up
puffed up cheeks lightly pinking
body curled up and stretched out

Ubiquity VII : Emotions : Confusion
eyes darting, searching
desperate for some clarity
wrinkling furrowed brow
jumbled words, meanings, symbols
aching within the forehead
The Emotions section of the Ubiquity series is quite a big one so I'll probably be uploading a few every day
