they say that happiness will find you,

but I think sadness finds you too, it sneaks up on you in darkness.

just when you think you've made it through,

it opens holes in what was solid ground, the kind you never know are there

until you take another step, and find your standing over air.

the world around you passes by, in blurs of colour and sound.

nothing around you makes sense, as you continue your plummet down.

you cant remember how it started, and you don't know how it will end.

but you know that you'd give anything, to stand on your feet again.

sadness is that feeling, when the falling doesn't stop.

and it saps your life of meaning, and all the good things that you've got.

so when you finally hit rock bottom, and you look back up at the sky.

what you once had seems so far away.

the only thing left to do is cry.

people all yell out "save yourself".

calling things about "happiness" and "hope"

but their too busy with their lives to realise.

it'd be a lot quicker if they let down a rope
