Pnz Zulu Poet Free verse

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

Eve Roper May 16, 2020 at 1:33 PM Very deep poem of sadness, PNZ. What ever has cause this in our world it needs to stop. I know I am also one that feels this depression. Nicely said Pnz Zulu May 20, 2020 at 7:38 AM 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.

Kristen Granet May 16, 2020 at 12:30 PM 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. Pnz Zulu May 20, 2020 at 7:38 AM “Beautiful disaster”, I like that paradox, thank you Kristen.

Darlene De Beaulieu May 6, 2020 at 5:53 PM 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.
