Sadness is not something you can run from,
Not something you can hide from.
Sadness can be all consuming,
Drowning, in a way.
Like you are suffocating- being smothered with grief.
Being choked by loss.
Gasping for air, as your ankles are weighted down with doubt...
Hope escaping your lungs with each moment that passes.
The pressure builds, and your eyes feel heavy-
Like they might explode with salty bursts of weakness... of expression.
Note- expression is not weakness.
But the world and its cruelty can make us feel fable and frail.
It's frightening.
It's lonely.
But it can help us grow.
