Sadness


by Carly Arielle (14)

The sadness that i feel
is indeed very real
it isn't just a game
that i could somehow tame
it flows all around me
and passes all about me
i feel sadness in the rain
Sometimes mixed with pain
it's a hurricane and a flood
full of skin fless and blood
it comes in blue green or red
or when i'm sick in bed
or when i'm having fun
basking in the sun
it hits me like a brick
until i feel so sick
i shrivel up inside
and run away to hide
it's a sadness that's so bad
i no longer feel so sad
i then feel angry and awful
even sometimes unlawful
and then it's not so bad
i then feel only sad
i then cry, cry and cry
and then i can only sigh
soon it all goes away
a spot on my soul there to say
sadness has visited me once more
and that spot it feels so sore.
