An Uninvited Guest

Sadness comes uninvited,

Like an unfamiliar guest. 

It takes away all the emotions,

To filter into a pond of emptiness. 

Sadness kills,

It rips the essence of you.

Life loses its meaning,

You feel you are not up there. 

Sadness keeps us monotonous,

We miss our old charm,

We feel unworthy and unaccepted,

We live a life without joy. 

We escape into ourselves,

We search for answers,

We fail miserably,

We lose interest.

We hope, we cry, we reason, we quarrel,

But a strange stillness surrounds us,

Our dreams appear tasteless and numb,

We wish we could die.

Sadness is not a passing bridge,

That leaves us once we pass the road

It keeps coming like how wind blows,

To keep testing us.  

Strength is nothing but plain myth,

For the ones who give up everything.

Sad memories surround us inside out,

We stand there alone, waiting for the storm.
