Sadness Poem by Lydia Ben

Sadness

by: Lydia Benzakry

It takes my mind, heart, and soul
It convinces me with its words
It takes me away from the pleasant thoughts
Making me unable to escape
I am gone to the happiness
but found by the sadness
To the people around me it bothers them on the inside
It changes the way I look at the world
It makes the world look gray
The flowers are black
the sun is gone nor does it ever come out
The people walk with a chain and ball to their feet
At least that's how it seems.
