I am just sad.
In this moment,
I am grounded
by distress, I am
bleak and I am anxious.
But later, I will
brush away these
harrowing feelings
and smile.

I am just so sad.
Today, I cannot seem
to find happiness.
But tomorrow I will
wake up and feel better.
It may take some time,
but eventually I will rise.

I am terribly sad.
This week has been hard.
Time has taken itself,
and I’ve been eagerly
awaiting its end.
Next week will be easier.

I am not just sad.
I’ve been trying my best
to pretend until
I don’t have to,
but I’m not seeing
a happy ending,
I’m not seeing
a bright future.

I’m so tired of being sad.
