The Jar

a girl owns a jar known as a happy girl not showing her true self she saves up the negative emotions stores them in her jar then when the jar is full she shatters it on paper black stained glass thousands of pieces across the page she watches anguish, anger, anxiety seeping into hard pencil lead picking up the pencil she shapes the emotions drags her pencil though the fear swirls it over the pain plunges it into the rage her emotions for words death, depression, despair poured into stories and rhymes told they are good that she has natural talent these emotions do her well? confused, she keeps writing until her words run out and she sets out on a journey to find a bigger jar
