I don't do Sadness

This heart of mine has turned black

There used to rainbows beautiful arches of color

But then the darkness slowly corrupted me

It became etched in my soul

It drowned my rainbows and

Painted over my sunshine

My best friends the colors left my paintbrush

And my page was black

The darkness became my constant companion

A shroud of emotions covering me

Shielding me from my blessings, my rainbows

My love

It kept me from my colors, the ones that

Shimmered in my sunshine

I’ve picked up the pieces

But I can’t seem to put them together

They won’t fit, they don’t form the picture I want

This darkness has become the very essence of my being

I’m defined by how black my darkness is

But then I remember my rainbows, my colors, my sunshine

My love

SO I scream out into the shadows

“ I DON’T DO SADNESS!!!!!! NEVER HAVE NEVER WILL!!!

My screams echo the halls of my soul

And drive the darkness away

“That was pretty easy” I say

But then again

I don’t do sadness

Never have

Never will.

Well written and I like the build up to the anger, allowing you to scream into the shadows. I really enjoy the line, "They won't fit, they don't form the picture I want". It has a very powerful meaning to trying to fix something that's been shattered to millions of pieces. I really enjoyed the whole poem and I hope you write more.
