Sadness
All of us have sadness
It dwells inside, in a special place
We hold our sadness close
Sometimes it is like pain, a grief
Or loss, of love, loved ones
Maybe a reflection of events, trauma
Seen, heard, felt, personal or second hand
But sadness it is, and can go so deep
It can color us, define us, rule us, hurt us
It is part of who and what we are
So embrace this we should, we must
To learn, to accept, to hold it in open hands
And if we can, be able to let it go
