Sadness

Emotions

By Ashley Published 4 years ago 1 min read

Sadness is refusing to look in a mirror

Because you hate what looks back at you

Sadness is refusing to eat

Because mommy says you’ve gotten to big

Sadness is sitting in a room alone

Because you can’t stand a crowded room

Sadness is crying and screaming

Because you have to get it out somehow

Sadness is masking with a smile

Because who will believe you if you tell

Sadness is begging

Because you just want to be loved

Sadness is voices

Because they’re saying an end is easier

Sadness is fighting

Because you have to believe it gets better than this
