Thoughts After Writing a Sad Poem
There are so many poems about hopelessness and lies
About tears and what what lies beyond the skies
Why did this happen? How did we get to this point?
Where with only words do we feel that we do not disappoint?
Why is it so hard to write about ice cream and sunny days?
Why are there no poems about somebody simply making their way?
Is it nature? Do we crave the dramatic conflict?
Or is it just easier to write about times we were pushed and kicked?
I’m not innocent in this sense, I’ve written depressing works before
I just can’t help but feel that there’s more
That life isn’t all gloomy and grey
That once we find happiness it won’t immediately go away
Maybe happiness in works of art and life isn’t banned
Maybe we have to be the ones to extend their hand
