Sadness

By Ramsie Chan

Flooded with overwhelming sadness,

blackness slowly becomes monstrous.

Tears always come to visit…

Is it really growing explicit?

The last spark of hope fades away, 

The only thing you can do is pray.

Would the darkness swallow you whole?

Or would it take away your soul?

Trapped in an endless ocean,

meaningless, dark, full of depression. 

Why isn’t there any motivation?

Or is that already out of the question?

They said that I wouldn’t make it.

Were they right? Should I admit it?

But what if there was still some hope…

Trauma, anxiety, could I cope?

Is there someone to rely on?

when I’m stressed,

Where’s the shoulder to cry on?

What should be done when all happiness is gone?

But through the dark,

comes this shimmer of light,

Which takes you by 

mere delight. 

A guiding hand

To show you the way.

Someone who understands…

No more room to be afraid?

You’ve tried your best,

And completed the test.

The darkness disappears, 

You’ve faced your fears…

But is it really that easy?
