"Sadness"
by Shenique Penney '18
sighing, sniffling
wondering
hiding my emotions
from everybody
keeping every problem
trapped inside me
Believing in only one thing
that I
only I
Can understand my sadness
Sorrow fills my soul
I, only I
Can understand my sadness
People claim they want to help
That they have been through it too
That they know that it is hard
and seems impossible to push through
but that it will get better
But I
only I
Can understand my sadness
Sorrow fills my soul
I, only I
Can understand my sadness
Silence fills my head
Loneliness consumes my life
My heart itself is suffering
Trapped in an internal strife
One day they all will know
And understand my gladness
That I,
Only I,
Can understand my sadness
wondering
hiding my emotions
from everybody
keeping every problem
trapped inside me
Believing in only one thing
that I
only I
Can understand my sadness
Sorrow fills my soul
I, only I
Can understand my sadness
People claim they want to help
That they have been through it too
That they know that it is hard
and seems impossible to push through
but that it will get better
But I
only I
Can understand my sadness
Sorrow fills my soul
I, only I
Can understand my sadness
Silence fills my head
Loneliness consumes my life
My heart itself is suffering
Trapped in an internal strife
One day they all will know
And understand my gladness
That I,
Only I,
Can understand my sadness
