Sadness
Sadness is a funny thing. It can make you cry and cry and cry until your eyes go red and swollen, yet it is something you hold onto without realising. It reminds you that you're alive and breathing. It reminds you that you're a human with feelings. It keeps your mind awake at night, sacrificing sleep and all else. It makes you feel tired. So, so tired.
However, this feeling inside you comforts you in a strange way. It makes the existence of your feelings seem valid. You are scared you might even like it. You're so used to sadness—it becomes a part of you.
Though, you know that the feeling will pass. It will fade away one day. But sometimes, you wish it doesn't—to feel alive again.
