Sadness

Deeper than the deepest trench,

Is hollowness that oceans can't quench,

More eternal than the yuletide,

Is the sadness in me that's deep inside.

I hide behind my hollow pride,

Try to bury these feelings inside,

Tell everyone that it's their folly,

If they find that I am not fun and jolly.

Like a splinter that's wedged in my heart,

A feeling that rips me apart,

Is the pool of darkness that surrounds me,

A monster which constantly consumes me.

I try to leave them behind,

But these feelings catch up like in rewind,

So I am left all alone,

As if these feelings have been cast in stone.

From whence came these thoughts?

Sentiments which have brought everything to naught,

For I don't know who I be.....

Am I a part of sadness or is sadness a part of me?

So it’s time to say farewell,

I hope that you all are swell,

I feel that I am about to be lost,

In this whirlpool which yet feels so soft,

My life is not as it seemed to be,

Here I am and yet I can't find me....
