the sadness never goes away
it just peeks around the corner every so slightly
so most days you just shoo it away

but then some days
it blind sides you
and it is screaming in your face
and you have to pretend it isn't there
but it's breathing your air
in your comfort zone
cracking your ribs from the inside

it is choking you
and your heart is being held in its hands
and it won't stop squeezing

it's like a mother screaming at her child in the supermarket
you can intervene
but you know that when they get home
it is just going to continue
but it will be much worse

so most times you turn your head
and ignore it
but your heart is still so heavy
and you will never forget seeing the mother
scream at her child

this sadness is hanging with me
and as much as I can turn my head
I will still feel it screaming in my face
but no one can save me
