Ms. Sadness

Fell in love with

the sadness,

which later,

became my passion.

The black became my friend.

Bested by the

light I was given.

So I caved in,

sorta like a caveman.

Then I died

again when she

glanced in.

I asked myself,

“should we dance

again?”

I couldn’t make up my mind so,

I fell back into the black

and wandered through

Wonders.

And now we’re back here,

falling in love with sadness

again.

So mote it be

It's hard to have a skill that relies so heavily on trauma, in all of its forms, to produce work that doesn't seem plastic. It's a good piece, I liked it. I think the harder emotions yield beautiful work. Of course, this calls into question the standard of beauty - but, that's a longer post. ^_^

I've grown in ways that it's the only way. Trauma is why I began to write, and now it has become my only love.

I always tell myself to look for the bright side of feeling sadness. Sadness is always with you, so you will never be alone.

[sinNsincerity]

You are so fucken right Kevz.

[FloatingMoth]

It has a really beautiful flow though out the piece

[Cherrie Palmer]

In chaos sometimes all people have is their emotion. Even sorrow can become a welcome friend. You have given a true persona to that.

[sinNsincerity]

A friend I know all too well...

[Tionge Rosalie Johnson]

I've suffered (unfortunately) with mental illness my entire life, so this it very close to home. So "the black" has become my friend quite often. I love how you always put a personal touch to your poetry. It makes it incredibly relatable.

[sinNsincerity]

God bless you Tionge, and stay strong. I'm really glad that you could find something in it and relate.

[Tiffany K Charles]

I relate to this so much... You captured depression in the most beautiful and Shakespearean way... Kudos love... You struck again.....

[sinNsincerity]

That's what I do...
Glad you could relate Tiff.
Love is Love.

[‘Thoughts In Time..]

Sometimes the blackness needs love to lighten its way and good can come from love no matter the colour or place, as long as we don’t get trapped in the dark of sadness forever🌹

[sinNsincerity]

Sadness forever...

[‘Thoughts In Time’🌹]

Nothing is the same forever - change is the only thing you can be sure of- joy comes in the morning🌹

[Lola_Bee]

This piece gives me a rolling, thundering Alice in wonder land kinda feel yet darker with more sadness. Good piece

[sinNsincerity]

So they say...
