Expressing Emotions

Sadness

Thank you for reading my poem! I really appreciate it :) I don't know if I'm a good poet or not. This is a poem I created to cheer myself up when I'm down...so, well...read on! :D

-

Teardrops are falling down my face.

I wonder why?

Why is there water coming out of my eyes?

Why do I feel pain?

Why do I cry?

Don't I have many things to find happiness in?

That's what I try to tell myself every day.

Yet I find myself forgetting the blessings I have.

Why did I forget them?

I think it's probably because

The pain of broken relationships

Feel stronger than the joyful memories from the past.

This moment of time I'm living in right now

Has the strongest affect on my emotions right now.

Because if I'm happy, the pain of the past is far away.

But when I'm sad, the joy from before has disappeared.

If one emotion exists, the other does too.

But people don't like being sad.

And I've never seen anybody who hates being happy.

But I believe that though it is painful, sadness is important.

Why do I think that way?

Because I think that the most beautiful works of art and literature

Appear when sadness is poured out

And turned into a physical, tangible state of being.
