Sadness fills my whole being
The tears that are meant to come out, stay within
I cry on the inside
My body feels this sadness
I do not know what to do with it

Sometimes tears come
but it always feels like the wrong time
I keep them in
I control myself
Yet the sadness does not go away

I feel uncomfortable with my sadness
Others feel uncomfortable with my sadness
I do not know what to do with it
They do not know what to do with it
I do not know how to react
They do not know how to react
The thing is, there is nothing to do
Nothing needs to be changed
I don’t need to be happy now
I need to be in whatever state I am

I need to remind myself of this, over and over.

Sadness fills my whole being
And like that it will continue
Until it doesn’t anymore.
