Best Sadsad Poems


I Feel Sad Today

I feel sad to day

I feel sad in heart to day, to see what is happening all around me 
The season of spring is singing the tune of autumn
The Koyals* and nightingales have left without singing,
This beautiful garden and the trees,
Before the spring would have bloom them to sing,
In full throated ease and beauty
They have left the nest and the tree and even the Garden
To see all this 
I am very sad to day, sad, very sad in heart 

Adieu my friends, you are the birds, who could have sung,
Many more songs and would have given many more dreams,
To those who are still in the garden, in the hope of a Koyal’s melody

But these are the dreams for awaken eyes
And not for those who are sleeping
As day dreams can be put to shape, but the dreams of sleeping eyes
Very rarely get a shape and are often get lost in sleep alone
I feel very sad,  
To realize and to see things as they getting all around me

*Koyal .  A melody singing bird of India (like the Nightingale of John Keats)
Koyal mainly sings in the season of spring.

Sad Clown

I find myself having to act 
onstage, spotlight trained and fixed
The Sad Clown 
Laughing on the outside 
Crying on the inside 
Lying, pretending, dishonest 
its all one big game
customer asks "How are you today?"
Lie: "Good"
True feelings submerged 
only 10% revealed above water 
until i get home @ night 
then the Sad Clown is exposed in the darkness

Eyes

Just now
I saw sad eyes
Too sad to even cry
Looking at me from the mirror
My eyes.


I'M Nervous and Careless, I'M Sad and Mad

I'm nervous and careless, I'm sad and mad.
It'll be what it will be.
Because it is what it is.
Nervous and careless, sad and mad.

My belly tight, it hurts real bad.
My heart beats fast, i feel it in my hand.
The loss in my eyes, like a deer in headlights.
It makes me ill and filled with fright.

This world closing in with unexpected winds,
Twirls and swirls me around, until I the hit ground.
When it's all over is when I'll begin.
There and then i will finally be found.

For now in my present in anxious torture.
I'm nervous about this and careless for that.
I'm sad from the past and mad for the future.

I will face without choice my mistakes.
The storm I won't be able to escape.
It'll be what it will be 
And I'll do what i have to do.
But I'm nervous and careless, I'm sad and mad.
Why do I do see all the deeds done bad.

It Isn'T You

I can't help but feel sad as I paint this picture of love
With you watching, hinting how he should look like you
Knowing that she looks like me; But it wouldn't be right
To paint him in your likeness, and I let his face be

Blank, so we can both pretend, to keep you happy,
That it's you and me smiling beneath an apple tree
A lovely facade, a mix of right and wrong,
Crying inside, as I sing you this song

It isn't right to string you along
Making you think that it's you all along
Who keeps the smile on my face
I take the paint and in his place
I write, "It isn't you."
It isn't you.

I think as you turn your head away,
You try to make it seem like some mistake
Excuses run through your mind
I wonder which one you'll find

You remark on the inner meaning of my painting
The sad story it tells that you never relate,
Never relate to yourself.
I'm putting paints back on the shelf
As you awkwardly mumble your reason and good bye
I turn off the lights, sit at my window, and sigh

It wouldn't be right to spare your feelings with a lie
Even if that was our last good bye
It's better to know the truth than for everything to seem
Like it could go according to your dream

It wouldn't be right to string you along
Making you think that it's you along
The man who keeps this smile on my face
Is miles and miles away from this place
But, I sigh, "It isn't you."
It isn't you.

Why Me

Why me?

Why it have to be me?

Of being sad and thinking about the pass.

Why me?

Why it have to be me?

You don't care how i feel.

You don't know i get.

Of being sad and thinking about the pass.

Why me?

Why it have to be me?
