An emotional feeling and expression,
That stirs the heart with much commotion.
Some express it through aggression,
While others find themselves in depression.
Sadness, like the weather, keeps on changing,
An unwanted weight that keeps on hanging.
Often masked as grief, jealousy, or stress,
Insecurity or anguish, better to suppress..
Sadness is an emotion we cannot escape,
Like the cycle of day and night, it takes many shapes.
A ride which doesn’t get you anywhere,
Knowing and accepting should be your prayer.
Experienced by everyone across the world,
A loss of someone or something, be brave and bold.
Disappointment to despair and quiet suffering,
These emotional states keep occurring.
Rejection from family, a friend, or lover,
Sickness or death of a loved one we suffer.
It signals our need for help and care, be keen,
Seek comfort and a shoulder to lean.
Sadness, one of the enduring emotions we bear,
Circulates through times of protest and despair.
When the sun sets and darkness takes its turn,
Know that sadness will fade, and joy will return.
