Poems
May 2018
Sadness is like a Well
Sadness is like a well
A secret place where all your fears hide
A place where there is nowhere to hide
A place where it floods with tears
Sadness is like a well
As you cry
Contain it inside
The well fills up
Sadness is like a well
You only bring a few tears to the surface
But for the most part
You keep it all in on purpose
Sadness is like a well
A storage for all your pain
Sorrow
And tears like the rain
Sadness is like a well
Don't let people see
The person who you ought to be
Keep them locked up
Sadness is like a well
Only open it to add to it
Don't go grief in it
But what can I say, I do the same
