Sadness Poem by Youssef Tarek Mnsr

Sadness is in my life
It won't stop coming to me
from the inside, it scratches me like a knife
but from the outside, it stings me like a bee

I hide it with a smile and some laughter
but it doesn't make me feel good
for it'll make me sad after
oh yes it would
and every time I let go
and so people would see,
and they would know
but I wouldn't agree

I hide it inside
l lock it, so it wouldn't fly free
it will fool some,
but others will see
that sadness will haunt,
and never leave me

Sadness will eventually pass
and greater will be
and yes it will pass
and no more there will be
