Two types

There are two types of sadness

There’s the kind of sadness

We ignore and

Try to get rid of it

By finding new things to do

Or we find someone to talk to

By blatantly avoiding any type of conversation

About feeling sad

About having any feelings at all

And then there’s that kind of sadness

That takes over

And it consumes any activity we do

We know it’s there

And there’s no possible way to avoid it

So we feed it exactly what it wants

It craves the sad music

It craves the isolation

It craves the anxiousness

And the sadness comes storming in

It has no manners

Here we are calling sadness, an “it”

When all it is

Is a feeling
