Unshackled Sorrow

Write a poem about a time you felt immense sorrow but keep it devoid of people, focusing instead on the physical reaction to the feeling.

Understanding the physical manifestations of emotion can be a valuable tool in conveying emotion. Use evocative language to fully detail the sensations in your body: your tightened chest, heavy heart, or numb fingertips. This process will help expose the raw and potent power of sorrow, transcending human characters, and focusing purely on the feeling.
