Sadness

Sadness is an ocean that floods the soul, 

It takes everything, leaves a hole.

Sadness is a feeling that takes control, 

It makes you cry, it makes you wail, 

Sometimes it leaves you silent,

Wishing you were alone.

Sometimes it makes you hide, 

Consider crawling under your desk. 

Sadness fills you up, 

Tries to escape through your pores, 

But it ends bottled up, 

Making you choke.  

Sadness gets with you into bed, 

With the cold from outside,

It makes you shake like a leaf,

Despite the warm covers. 

Sadness gets in your mind when you close your eyes,

Reminding you of lost things,

Of those that are gone to never come back. 

Reminding you of what you could have done, 

Reminding you of what you could have. 

Sadness makes you forget everything good that you have in your life,

It blinds you to goodness,

It blinds you to joy. 

It makes you feel like nothing will work.
