They say happiness will find you,
But I think sadness will find you too,
It sneaks up on you in darkness,
Just when you think youâve made it through,
It opens holes in what was solid ground,
The kind you never know are there,
Until you go to take another step,
And find youâre standing over the air,
The world around you passes by,
In blurs of colour and sound,
Nothing around you making sense,
As you continue your plummet down,
You canât remember how it started,
And you donât know when it will end,
But you know that youâd give anything,
To stand up on your feet again,
Sadness is that feeling,
When the falling doesnât stop,
And it saps your life of meaning,
And of the good things that youâve got,
So when you finally hit rock bottom,
And you look back up at the sky,
What you once had seems so far away,
The only thing left to do is cry,
People all yell out âsave yourselfâ,
Calling things about âhappinessâ and âhopeâ
But theyâre too busy with their lives to realise,
Itâd be a lot quicker if they let down a rope.
It reminds me of a lot of poems I have written, so I find some sort of comfort in the words the author uses. The line “Sadness is that feeling, When the falling doesnât stop” really stood out to me because it’s such a simple but great descriptive way of explaining the feeling of sadness, extreme sadness anyway, perhaps even depression.
