490 Entries for “severe”

  1. Severe, it almost sounds like sever. Like you are cut off from all reality and actuality. Like a severe threat, throwing you into a pool of fear. Or severe regret, causing you constant anguish and pain. These little things can destroy you, severing you from the rest of the world. You never actually leave, but you just retreat into your own world.The word sever just looks sharp, wouldn’t you agree? Like it is hiding pain.

  2. There once was a winter so extreme that we had to develop our bodies in a way that truly changed humanity as we were. Now we have a overdeveloped lung capacity, under-developed nerves and fifty pounds of sweaters.

  3. It reminds me of the word “sever” and then I begin to think of meat. Like a large, sweaty butcher with hair covered arms hacking ferociously at a giant carcass of some animal.

  4. The severe thoughts echo as he urges me to sleep, echo as she pushes me one step further, scream as I slam my fist against the wall. I hit the closet door, over and over and over and over. At first the entire door rattles, and then with each cry, each whimper, my hits become more and more useless. My fist thuds against the door and then stays there. I am like that too. I hit the world at full force, but when I tried again I was too weak to make an impact. I’ll save my strength now. Next time I hit, I’ll make a difference. Even as my eyes swim and my mind ignores the confused questions from my family, I’ll deny my weakness. There is no such thing as weakness here. There can’t be.

  5. My tooth ache is very severe. I hope I don’t have to get my wisdom tooth removed. I am in severe pain since last Friday. I don’t know what else to write and I am a slow at typing. What is this all about? Is it a test? I am very suspicious!

  7. Severe weather—that’s the real end game of “global warming.” More extreme temperatures will be the case. More intense storms too. Climate change is what’s happening—everywhere.

  8. Los problemas más graves entre dos personas se solucionan con tiempo, silencio y al final, una buena charla bajo las estrellas, dejando los problemas junto a ellas, lejos.

  9. The storm was raging, one of the most severe there had been in this area for years. A high, squealing noise is swept away by the wind, and thunder booms nearby. The sky lights up several times as lightning strikes, so close you could almost feel it. The squealing noise had come from a wild kitten, shaking with fear under a tree, calling for its mother. She wouldn’t come.

    The wolf was trotting back to the den. She had to feed her pups and keep them from wandering out into the rain. She heard a frightened squeal, and thinking it sounded like her pups, ran toward it. Upon arriving at the noise’s source, she realized that the young animal was not even of the same species. Looking about for its mother, and not seeing it, she looked back at the kitten, shivering and soaked. Her gut told her it was right, but she knew it was wrong. She picked the tiny, shivering baby up in her mouth, gently, heading for home. She’d let it go after the rain had stopped.

  10. severe wasn’t the word to describe her countenance at the sight of kevin and ethan in muddy shorts and soaked hair and scrathed arms. she was dead seriously furious and nearly had a coniption when she saw the two boys and their horrible state of dissaray. what the hell have you two been up to she screamed.

  11. Severe thunderstorms are in the area. For protection, please stay indoors and away from tall trees…or power poles…or anything of the sort. Rubber tires keep you from getting struck by lightning. If there’s a tornado, go to the basement or the innermost rooms of your house. Don’t worry, things will be okay.

  12. AAAARRRRAAAGGGGHHHH!!! I had just stepped on a nail and now I’m writhing on the floor, holding my foot and trying not to swear too loud so the kids don’t hear. Even in my agony, with lockjaw on my mind (haven’t had my shots since I was a kid), I’m thinking of my kids that aren’t with me this weekend. It hurts my heart more than my foot could ever be.

  13. Severe, sever, severance. I don’t have a lot of experience with severity. Mountains, maybe. Covered in snow and peaks and valleys of trapped natural life. Confused mountaineers, lost in the blizzard.

  14. I think that the word severe doesn’t look like what it sounds like. Severe looks like a calm word, the aren’t really hard sounds in it. Whenever you say it, it’s kinda a soft sounding word. Whenever you know the meaning of it, it’s harsh, it’s worrisome. It brings stress to your mind. It’s not how it sounds. Maybe we should change the meaning of it?

  15. Severe is a broken heart, a broken ankle, a broken dream.
    Severe is when you need help.
    Severe is when you miss the person you love most.
    The end.

  16. severe lines cross the road
    dividing two worlds
    one headed away
    the other headed from
    severe heat bakes the rock
    black surface

  17. severe isn’t a severe word. It sounds almost pleasant on it’s own. Yet when attatched to any other word immediately becomes negative. The word Severe should be rescued from it’s connotations.

  18. it’s so hard to pretend to be severe when all i want to do is cave in and let my daughter live her life as she wants to. I know it’s for the best that I keep my heavy, serious face on…but I miss the days when we could just have simple fun, prancing through forest floors and laying in moss, wading in the lake and laughing. Severity. I hope it ends soon.

  19. It was a severe headache. The pain had been constant for several days now and that was the point, they said. When Henry left for work the day it happened he had no idea that he would come to love his permanent migraine.

  20. Severe weather–hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunami… It’s Mother Nature’s way of telling us that we’re not in control. Bow before her power, puny humans.

  21. The bluntness of her frustrated tone
    Delivered silent blow after silent blow
    Of unspoken resentment and rage
    It marked the ending of an already volatile situation
    The unwillingness to give
    The willful withholding forms a tight fist
    The distance between grew and grew
    Into severe indifference

  22. Severe is paranoia. Where does it come from? Perhaps it is the intake of too much caffeine. Or the dreams of the night, spilling over into the day. Sometimes it seems the clouds in the sky could be complicit. Severe is paranoia. Yet severe it is not, for it is all a matter of perspective. The dreams that spill over, they are but neon bleeding into the night, transitory and substance-free.

  23. Severe was the only way to describe how she looked. Hair tied up, black clothes, no traces of a smile. It’s no wonder she frightened the children. “Are you here for the Parent-Teacher meeting”. Gulp. It would have been easier to lie and run like hell out of the building, but there are probably rules against that.

  24. Severe words
    are heard every day
    they don’t make you sad
    or mad
    just sometimes
    you wish someone would say something
    that was kind
    and rewind
    all of the severe words.

  25. Severe consequenses for severe actions. He shouldn’t have done it and now I have to. Don’t look at me like that, you don’t understand. It had to happen, and it’s going to happen. It could happen to anyone, even you. I don’t want this… I never wanted this.

    Miranda Edwards
  26. severe words

  30. Darkness which is mirrored in the eyes and mouth of those who hold it. Stretched to an unimaginable limit and unable to suppress the dissatisfaction of a job incomplete, or of an expectation reduced or denied.

  31. being severe is not a good thing. It essentially means when your too excessive over an action or something of that sort. I don’t really know what else to write… I’m thinking define. Severe is when someone is too harsh with their words, or their actions towards another. However, it is a reaction to another actions.

    Starr
  32. Is severe a good thing or bad? Most times it is seen in a negative light. Severe punishment. Severe storm. These things have negative connotations. When did this start? Why aren’t things severe fun? Severe happy?

    Shanda
  33. Severe temptations crawl over my itching skin. I need what my body lusts for, denial is just of the mind. I crave for that taste, the smell, the aroma filling inside me, the smoke building in my lungs. Please don’t call this an addiction, I am far too strong for a title such as that.

    [i’m really not addicted to anything, i swear :P]

  34. it is severe to write without thinking and it gets you sort of stressed if you also know that your time is limited. However, such things can be fun and the autor is really wondering what will happen when the time runs out. Such moments are indeed something you do not want to miss in life.

  37. The pain was severe now. Having thrown up in the grey ashy snow, Jensen looked at the red blotch that covered the ground and had speckled his boots. Well, this is a fine mess, he muttered to himself. He wiped the drool off of his chin and lips with his sleeve and continued walking.

  38. that was the pain,
    she wanted to cry out but no words came.
    It wasn’t physical,

    emotional

    everyone was blind to it
    she was even blind

    until she saw him again

    that was the worst part about it.

    she never thought she’d see him

  40. As severe as Vermont’s weather is, there’s nothing more severe then the boredom that comes along with said temperature. That’s why I game.

    Is my gaming addiction severe? It depends who you ask. My boss would say yes, although I’ve never once missed a meeting, been late, or otherwise infringed upon my duties herein.

    My mother would say yes, as I rarely listened, but hey, I was a kid.

    I say no.
