A sadness ever creeping in
Regardless of how hard I try to block its’ path,
The dark consumes me.
I don’t know why I’m so sad.
Things.
Lots of things,
Casting obscure shadows on the ground around me.
No matter where I turn,
Nor how quickly I attempt to escape
My constant companion,
I can never reach the light of the sun.
Ah, the sun.
I recall the way it would warm me
In only moments.
There was a time
I could bathe in its light.
Even when I closed my eyes
The light didn’t go away.
It waited for me until I chose to let it in.
The brightness of it
Was at times overwhelming,
Yet welcome.
Now there is no light-
At least not for me.
I twist and I turn,
Wondering why it hides.
There are too many shadows.
Now when I close my eyes
There is no comfort in the thought
Of light just beyond.
It is only dark,
And I am lost in it.
I am sad.
I don’t know why I’m so sad.
But it consumes me.
And I feel dark.

I am a person who loves the light, so I really appreciated the folowing passage:
"There was a time
I could bathe in its light.
Even when I closed my eyes
The light didn’t go away.
It waited for me until I chose to let it in."
Good job with this "Sad" topic! :)
