Sadness creeps up

Like water overflowing a cup

Light blue tears spill

Rolling down my cheeks like a hill

Thought kept hidden; traced in the back

Of a mind which lacks

Happiness

Death, insanity, no confidence

Are these thoughts that are ominous

Painting a blue liquid

In my heart; so sickened

My head clouds; my heart feels heavy

A heavy that’s dense, deadly

My eyes no longer look up; they look down

Against the floor; without a sound

My lips don’t smile or laugh

Just frowning as if facing wrath

Getting away from the sadness; it’s difficult yet I must

Its direction is not just

To me, but also to all I trust

Fading like iron that rusts

From a reddish-brown tint

Spreading out like grain; a hint

Of the sadness built inside 

My mind
