Unknown Sadness

Heather wore a saddening frown.
Her head drooped down.
Her eyes were red and puffy.
Her nose was stuffy.

She wept with a pout.
She would yell and shout.
Heather gave a groan
And was to sit alone.

Everyone was glad,
But Heather was sad.
No one knows why, 
She’d wail and cry.

She whimpered until,
She had no will
To cry anymore.
 She went in the door.

Heather’s heart was like
A broken glass.
With a great mass,
To push off her shoulders.
