Maybe Sadness Is My Happy Place

In the dark I sit All emotion No motion Will there ever be light I’m still on the outside A hurricane inside Tryna control my sky, land and sea Give me the white flag I’m ready to set it free Will a flower ever grow from here Will I ever blossom or merely disappear Into the sunken bags under my eyes Get me out of this whirlpool I can’t breath I’m drowning in my own tears 100 voices and not one is glad Maybe sadness is my happy place I need a ticket pass away from here Even if it’s for a day The weight is too much To wait is too much 99 emotions and they’re all the same I’m tired

Thank you Eve. We really are living in sad times but I hope the generations to follow, don’t experience what we are experiencing currently.

This sounds like a beautiful disaster. And from places such as these, new things will flourish. Like a small forest fire to promote new growth... you will arise anew with rekindled spirit and sail on an uncharted sea.

Hello PNZ Zulu, welcome to Poetry Soup. Emotions whether happy or sad. Can creep up on us quickly. When up set and you feel you must cry a deep sadness comes. So in darkness you go until it passes. Then you are happy. Enjoy your evening my friend.
