The sadness can

build up around you

if you let it

 

It can tower over

and

surround you

so that when you look  it’s

all you can see

 

It stacks up like

piles of stone

jagged rocks

and the daylight can’t get through

 

But for a while you

like it this way and

it’s good the daylight can’t get through

 

You’re left alone

at last

and so what?

 

Not brave enough for life

Not brave enough for death

A coward in

complete

darkness

 

so only the shadows know
