Dear Sad people,
How many times have you cried on a toilet seat ?
How many bathroom stalls did you lock yourself in?
How many times did you feel lonely in a room full of happy people?
How many times did you pretend to be happy while internally trying your best not to burst into tears?
Screaming at the top of your lungs to try and fit yourself in with them while, knowing you're a destined misfit.
Dancing and cheerleading when you don't want to, just to prevent the happy people from becoming sad because, you know just how bad it gets over here..
How many times were you mistaken for an irritable, stuck up, idiot because, your sadness made you anxious, lazy and stupid?
Just,
How many times did you feel that a poet you've never met understood you better than your family?
How many times did that poet understand you better than your family?
How many times did you say no to someone because, you did not feel like it, but then set yourself to go on an immediate guilt trip?
Dear Sad people,
How left out and unloved do you feel right now?
How many times did you supress your desperate urgency to make people understand what you're feeling because, the weight of your sadness would be too heavy on them?
Please tell me,
I would like to know,
If what I am feeling is felt by someone else too.
