Keeping Secrets

I asked her to explain "what is sadness?" So she told me. I expected her to tell me sadness meant bruised knees and spilled ice cream. But she told me sadness is much more then those things and it swallows you up. "Sadness is broken hearts and spilled tears it's not fun being sad it numbs you inside and you feel nothing." I said " of course you feel something your always feeling something" " No your wrong when your sad you feel nothing you
have no emotions, I can't show you how it feels but I can show you what it looks like. So she left and when she returned all the makeup she had on her face was washed off. Her face was pale with puffy eyes and it looked like she hadn't smiled in a long time. That's
when I started to understand how terrible being sad was. It kills you inside and out. Sadness lays everywhere we can't see but as soon as it touches our hearts it starts to become who we are.
