Sad Poems

Folder: 
Personal (Hope)

I don't want to 

write sad poems forever;

I don't want to 

cry myself to sleep.

 

But the sun always sets,

and the sky is usually blue.

 

And so my soul leans

towards the darkness

like a flower to the light. 

 

My heart has shadows

that tend to envelop it

without my intervention.

 

It can feel hopeless,

and I often surrender 

to that emotion.

 

But the sun also rises

when it pushes

past the horizon.

 

And so I can fight through

these feelings that

weigh me down.
