sad poetry
The cathartic nature of poetry makes it one of the best outlets to channel feelings of sadness, emotional turmoil, grief and despair.
Disillusioned
Family. Friends. A partner. None measure up. No one seems to try unless it costs me something. I am alone — no hope left, only the ghost of what I thought was real. I am thankful for my son. He is truly wonderful. I am lucky. My love for him is endless Our bond keeps my heart soft while the adults in my life are either absent or shallow as a teaspoon, their emotional capacity negligible. Is there life on this planet? Can I have a real conversation, a genuine connection beyond my child? Perhaps someday. But I will not hold my breath — for I would surely die. ☾⋆｡°✩🦇✩°｡⋆☽
