drug or withdrawal
Sadness is like withdrawal. It’s scary and painful. Causes your heart to race like lighting. Till, at bolt’s speed, it begins to feel like it’s feet aren’t even touching the ground. Like flying.
But flying always leads to falling. Flying high means falling low. Flying on sadness,
Falling on happy.
Impossible to know one without the other. The up and down of our emotional rollercoasters. Impossible to know up from down.
Maybe that’s the difference between people?
Which is the drug, which is the withdrawal? Sadness is flying sadness is up sadness is high.
Happy high. Happy low.
Which is which?
