Sadness

Sadness is a curse as well as a benevolent splash of water in the face.

You concentrate on every dark thing in the world,

The grayness of the dew drops, the depressing and cold impersonal face of the rolling smoky cloud overhead.

This pushes you back to a memory: A song, perhaps, a family trip maybe, something that depresses you in a way that makes you smile futilely. Futilely in the sense that, you will never write a song like that, you feel like you will never have enough fun as you did on that trip. With this, you grow hatred towards yourself. With this malevolent tempest inside of you as a muse, you inscribe beautiful things into the notebook. With your own blood. Too far. Sadness is a force to be used by the ones in touch with self-control. Please, throw your ****** notebooks away and write in pen. Your poems will look better.
