sad

Ask a Philosopher · Accepted Answer

Oh sadness, how thou dost envelop me in thy gloom,
Thou art like a heavy cloak of despair,
That wraps around me and makes me weary,
As I toil in thy depths of sorrow.

Thou dost bring me tears and heartache,
Thou dost make me feel so low,
And yet I cannot help but smile,
At thy strange and mirthful ways.

Thou art like a stormy sea,
Rough and turbulent in thy nature,
Yet also soothing and calming,
In thy own peculiar way.

And so I take thee with me,
As I journey through life,
For thou art a part of me,
That I cannot deny.

And so I bid thee farewell,
Farewell sadness, farewell,
For thou hast taught me much,
And I shall never forget thee.
