Sadness Eyes

Sadness eyes which view this world
shedding tears that expose fear and pain
afraid to face society's game
A child grows older
becomes an adult
Leaving behind his mother and father

That trepidation before living this World
Constipates with high anxiety that always delivers
a knock out blow reality check to the brain

The universe continues
beyond death,
despair,
The human plight

Our vision is sadness
as we struggle throughout
The blade is almost drawn
Time to face HIM
Forever defeat this madness

Water leaks from baby's view
Wondering,
What Next and where is he(she)going to
The context of this poem can be out of focus
And the meaning could be a forever unknown

For in these words
It tries to convey dearly
a heartfelt question
to why we express SADNESS without 
looking for a true definition of these tears

Night comes ahead of the Moon
Has this introspection gone far,too soon?
If these weary pupils of mine cannot find
The instant relief of solutions defined

Then the WOE continues without resolution
Tragic man is still filled with confusion
My fate goes on forever
and a tear gently flows down from my cheek

I shut my brain down
for a BEAUTY sleep in night
Lullabyes and Frank Sinatra sighs
Leaving for tomorrow and said again
Sadness Eyes,
closing out temporarily once again
