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.
