There are different kinds of sadness
Everybody knows that
There's the kind that leaves you empty inside
Draining your energy
Through leaks at your tear ducts

There's the kind that leaves you still
Unable to force yourself to move
Because you might shatter
Any sense of wellness that you have left

And there is the kind that sits
Like a vulture
A weight in your chest
Taking up important space
Where your lungs should reside
Leaving you short of breath
Making you feel so heavy
You sink
Like an anchor thrown off a dock
And in the depths of the dark water
You are lost
