Drawing Sad

I went to the man at school today He chats a bit and watches me play Asking questions about my feeling Feelings that have got me thinking How I am, and what I enjoy to do Where I go, what time I spend with who He asked. "How would you draw sad?" What a stupid question, is he mad But it got me thinking about sad things About what feeling sadness brings My drawing would be dark like mood Everything wilted like overripe food I want to draw my emptiness inside Sadness is like a destination less ride My picture, an inwardly swirling cloud No end, no escape, no joy to be found. Did it help? I'm not sure, but it's not like before? Now some of my sadness escapes when I draw.
