The saddest day in my life is today,

Skies gloomy and dark, whisking the grey

Its not really sad just somber,

I hate sobriety too!

--

Birds chirped in rows but forgot to change their feathers thereafter,

Pupils read and everyone sat silent yet talking in the midst.

--

I felt sad - just because.

A violet bag to my front and a bottle of stale water to my right.

--

I saw how my friends laugh at their jokes,

Jokes I found funny too,

Heard mine, as well, but only some laughed.

--

Then again, I’m not a comic,

I don’t live to tell the truth,

Hated the life I’m wrought into - with a price of sand.

--

Everything just piled up in me, and I collapsed,

The building that is mine, has become ash!

Sad that such olden design being faded,

Not even the villainous could ever redeem!

--

Try as I might - all's for naught,

Laughter and fun don't work anymore,

See myself as barrier and hinder

To everyone else's joy;

But then again, everyone's ***** and stone

Which is more rotten to the bone.

--

What is the price of happiness?!

I'd have shouted to the gods,

Queries unanswered and left to rot,

Yet has traded like the air.

--

The saddest part:

I never knew what caused such great sadness,

Maybe I've felt too empty like a juiceless coconut shell,

Lost of jewels and black pearls, maybe.

I could only hope for the better;

And if not - just some good weather
