Sadness Unsayable

A sad hole of darkness my constant companion since childhood walks with empty hands of why on its lonely road, where my soul cries this sparrow sits and bends its head down in quiet disbelief, to face unwelcomed rain as the days rush by in a shadowed black contest Unsayable 11/22/17 sponsor nette

This is so sad, a poem that can only be written by a wise and experienced poem, who has felt such emotions at some point in his or her life.. Very deep and sad imagery..

oh that is so good, Frederic. I want to try this challenge but I have to think what to use for a theme. I like the sadness theme myself. It is often such an unsayable type of thing and you really SHOWED it to us with your poem.
