What do you do when you're sad?
I dance for what I still have
I draw the sorrow inside me
I sing songs that want to be

I count the stars over my head
I smile at kindness being spread
I think of better stories to write
Or maybe I'll just fly a kite

I'll let my tears pump out my pain
And assure there will be no more rain
I do ballet with a ribbon floating
I start the series of self loathing

I pick up a stone and throw it
And hate on my dumb wit
I lock myself up in my room
And think about the world's doom

I nap a bit to calm my nerves
And give my body what I think it deserves
Sometimes I sleep for a long time
Or I commit the worst of all crime

I rob my parents from their child
For others the pain is mild
As into the immense darkness I dive
Taking away my own life

I might leave a letter behind
Filled with stories about being kind
To leave an imprint like Macbeth
Reminding to stay away from death
