Sadness

you don't know sadness,

unless you've stained your pillow with tears.

you don't know sadness,

unless you've had to talk yourself out of the worst.

unless you've cut everyone

you love with your shattered glass.

unless you've cried until your eyes

are sealed shut and cannot open for another day.

you don't know sadness,

unless you've felt empty, scared and alone.

you don't know sadness,

unless you've realized you're not okay.
