quicksilver meets a silent sob

By BrenPublished 2 years ago Updated 2 years ago 1 min read

my sadness

sometimes

gets caught in my throat

like an unplanned cough

sometimes

my sadness

rolls down my cheeks

in a tiny river of mirrors

my sadness

sometimes

clouds my vision

while letting me see

sometimes

my sadness

is a spectrum of emotion

spinning in a fever of wild colours

my sadness

sometimes

is the things i should have said

but i didn’t

sometimes

my sadness

is what i should really do

but wont

my sadness

sometimes

is like doing good

but still feeling bad

sometimes

my sadness

may seem familiar to you

i can feel your sorrow as well

    So well written

  • Such a whirling chaotic miasma it is. Your sadness is uniquely your own, as is all of ours. This is well expressed and touching. Great job.
