Sadness overwhelms me My heart breaks inside. I am weak and tired My happiness pushed aside. I call friends for help But no one can answer my heart. I cry to make the pain stop But my pleads are torn apart. My past haunts my present I don't know what will save me. The pain feels far too fresh I long to touch ground safely. What was once a happy life Turned into a sad disaster. The guilt is strong and sharp And its will is my great master. I long and hope for happiness To smile and laugh and love again It seems it will never come to be I’m alone and sad with no one else but I, myself, and me. James Dicus- (Date unknown)
