Sadness

Sadness follows me everywhere
Everywhere I go
I wish I knew just how to shake
What makes me feel so low

My soul feels empty and alone
Without my knowing why
If only I could smile and laugh
Instead of frown and cry

Sleep alludes me once again
My mind awash with broken dreams
tortured by what might still be,
my pain so real but never seen

How I got here, no one knows
Please help me find a way
A way to for me to at last be free
From all this pain and misery.
