Started over a year ago

and found when I was looking out poetry to post on here.  I had a look at this amended and finished it.  I am sure many of my friends can relate to this particular poem.

SAD

Deep down are tears

They rise to the brink

Occasionally tumbling down my cheek

Forcing my eyes to blink

There s a nasty sick feeling deep down inside

A sadness I don’t understand

Hopelessness that festers and grows

Working it’s tricks, underhand

There’s no reason or rhyme to how I feel

How I suffer and hide it away

Why I need help and guidance and love

To make all of this go away

Some days these feelings are far too strong

Then all I want is some sleep

To pretend that the badness has all gone

To let happy in my head creep

I don't want this feeling to be in control

It's wrong and its bad

I can't let it go on the way that it has

This feeling I'm told is called SAD.

One day I am sure happy will be

The stronger of all my emotion

Then SAD will be gone from my head

Maybe somewhere there's a potion

Till then I will fight to keep up the power

To keep the bad feelings at bay

Let cheery thoughts inside my head

And become more happy each day.
