Poetry: Sadness Permeates My Very Being

By: Christine McFarlane

Sadness

permeates

my very being

I'm not sure

why

I just know

there's an emptiness

inside

that makes me

want to

cry

Sadness

permeates

my very being

it's 

like a blanket

thats wrapped

around me

tightly

not allowing me 

to breathe

Sadness

permeates

my very being

I'm not sure

why

and 

for once

I honour this sadness

instead of 

holding it inside

I allow

 myself to cry

And

the weight lifts
