SADNESS

I can't grope my way out of the darkness
my dreams are all mired in hopelessness
doubt clouds my very essence
nothing makes any sense

I wish every night for a glimmer of hope
there are so many things I can't cope
yet, life seems not to be hearing
all my cries and weeping

I so want to enjoy the sunshine
to be able to say, "thank you, I'm doing fine"
but I can't bring myself to smile
not even for a little while

I'm getting drowned in my tears
I can't see beyond my fears
sadness has wrenched my heart away
happiness has lost it's way
