Sadness

Sadness, a word I have come to know so dear,
It holds great meaning, along with great fear.
It seems to follow me, and show up with no warning,
It comes in the night, in the day, and in the morning.
Though I still do not know why it follows me,
I try to play it safe, but things arise I cannot see.
Along with it there is no happiness or love,
It’s hard to grasp, and even harder to speak of.
It seems as if there is no need to go on,
I feel so alone as if everyone around me is gone.
I know it will pass one day and I will be back,
Everything will seem cocolorfuland not just black.
Though I know it is gone, I know it will return,
But from each experience there is something I learn.
Life isn't all heartbreak, loss, and despair,
Happiness can be found, though now it seems so rare.
Getting through the hard can make or break my soul,
But I know one day I will feel completely whole.
