Decreasing Sadness

A free verse poem on sadness.

Sadness is the only thing you feel for a while

You wake up. SAD.

You go to bed. SAD.

But then you get used to it and the pain decreases

You wake up and you feel better

And the same night you go to bed feeling a little less sorry for yourself

The level of happiness inside of you increases

Little by little

Day by day

Your smile gets bigger when people are around

Your heart races

And all that sadness goes away

Until you got nothing left

Sadness is part of our life, sometimes it's hard to deal with it. It's all up to us how are we going to handle it.

As for the poem... more idioms, symbols, etc... It's a plain poem... I'm just being honest.

You have such a special way to describe feelings , I love it so much

our smile gets bigger when people are around
Your heart races
And all that sadness goes away
Until you got nothing left
