The Silent

sadness is

they say 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 up holes in what was solid ground

the kind you never knew was there

until you go to take another step

and find you're standing over air

the world passes you by

in blurs of color and sound

nothing around you making sense

as you continue your plummet down

you can't remember how it started

and you don't know when it will end

but you know that you'd give anything

to stand up 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 they're too busy to realize

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