Rage

Submitted in response to Words Alive’s QuaranTEENS prompt, All the Feels

If rage were a color, it would be red
as red as lipstick.

If rage were a taste,
it would be just like spicy sauce.

If rage were a smell,
it would be as bad as sulfur.

If rage were tangible,
it would feel like breaking a keyboard.

If rage were a sound,
it would be as loud as me screaming.

Sadness

Submitted in response to Words Alive’s QuaranTEENS prompt, All the Feels

If sadness were a color,
it would be blue, as blue as "Sadness" from the movie "Inside Out" .

If sadness were a taste,
it would be just like salt - like salty tears that pour down our cheeks when we cry.

If sadness were a smell,
it would be as moldy as an empty house, when no one is using it.

If sadness were tangible,                       
it would feel like an onion - we can cry when we cut it.

If sadness were a sound,                                
it would be as a baby crying as when he/she is in pain.
