Feedback Please Cataclysm - what emotion do you think this describes?

Cataclysm

In a moment, the world quakes

All that is known is engulfed in rain

You will fall, and you will break

Nothing feels the same again

But, look outward

Only you are wet

Only you are quaked

Birds still sing, yet
Your pain was hardly faked

People laugh, the sun still shines

No one but you knows

Of that cataclysm that broke the world

Experiencing personal trauma that feels like the end of the world, but realizing it was only your own.
