David William Breidenthal Poet Free verse

Sad For No Reason

Had a pretty good day today
I smiled, but got led astray
I don’t know why I try anymore
Maybe, trying is helping all the more

Sad and I see no reason why
Mad and I need glee, no lie
Glad It’s only temporary, oh baby,
I will be with you oh so willingly…
Jubilantly…
So in touch with you
I can feel me and you breathless
Tell me who knew…
This would happen – our happiness
Our blissfulness

Can’t you see
I am sad for no reason? (blissfully unaware) 
Can’t you be
Considerate season to season? (don’t you care?) 

Can’t I possibly
Be happy like I used to long ago?
Can’t I be free
Or will I have to lose myself to show
That I care for you? 
I will always be there
Just see me through
Your scars, I will bear

Your bars are set too high
I cannot fly in this heatwave tonight
I will be your stars in the sky
If you'd let me be free in mere flight

Had a pretty good day today
I prayed it would remain that way
Until I started feeling sad, but I will be okay

I’m done for…done for being so torn 
I’m done, feeling disoriented and sore
I’m done, feeling saddened and forlorn 
For no reason…no reason…no reason…
Yet, you expect me to be happy some more…

You hit me in a spot where it was almost the deepest core......
Adoring you, yet you wanted more, I swore, I shouldn’t, but I swore
You'd unchain me from being insane, you refrained the reign of downpour

The downpour of the raindrops from bitter clouds, clouds 
The shower of rain soar with wingless, reminiscent shrouds 
You cower away from the light I shed and embrace, away from the chaotic crowds

Had a pretty good day today and all, back against the wall 
Until I felt the tears inside start to fall, couldn’t stand tall...
For a good reason – 
Your summer turned to winter season

Christopher Flaherty August 18, 2018 at 4:42 PM I am glad you had a good day . You made my mine. As for views reads and comments ?? Good question I don't think everyone's on the same page here on poetrysoup and taste is in the eye of the beholder . Quality rather than Quantity . Your work speaks for itself David William Breidenthal August 19, 2018 at 4:12 AM Thank you, glad I made your day! I have a huge quantity of poetry and according to others on psoup, mine is quality, which makes me more than joyous and content. Thank you ~ JWE

Christopher Flaherty August 18, 2018 at 4:38 PM 11 out of 7 JW Absouloutely to many great fantastic lines it would be an injustice to mention only 1 or 2. I have read a bit of your work lately and the only thing I can think it say is what you said to me. I can't believe why more people haven't commented on your work or been viewed a hell of a lot more David William Breidenthal August 19, 2018 at 4:06 AM Last part is what I've been saying since 7th grade, my first time publishing and blogging poetry online. Who knows...God knows. (: David William Breidenthal August 19, 2018 at 4:05 AM Thank you so so so much! =) There are plenty to read and more to come! Wrote one tonight at the bar with family. -JWE
