When Sadness Is Infinite Poem by Izobelle Pulgo

when sadness is infinite and loneliness is deep,
when days are dark and at night you weep,
when people ask if you're okay
but walk away, thinking they know what you'll say
'i'm good, i'm fine, i'm okay, '
'i've never been better, you see? '
yet i wish someone would stay behind and ask,
someone who could see beyond my broken mask.
coz when sadness is infinite and loneliness is deep,
how i wish for someone to hold my hand, someone for me to keep
someone to keep the shadows away while i sleep.
for tomorrow is another day and the sun will shine,
tomorrow is another day, perhaps i'll be fine.
