sad poetry
The cathartic nature of poetry makes it one of the best outlets to channel feelings of sadness, emotional turmoil, grief and despair.

My cat screams at me constantly, and I always find myself yelling, “What?” in response, even though I know that she can’t respond with words. She goes between wanting attention and food, and when she has gotten both and still screams, I sit down on the ground with her and watch her eat. It must be nice to be a cat—sleeping and eating and getting pet all day, without a worry in the world.

Smiles
Today is all smiles. It's great to see that glimmer in your beautiful eyes. I wonder if I could persuade you to look past my imperfections? Not see the flaws I see in myself. Today is all smiles. I love to see you this way. I miss the way you used to look at me like I was something special to you. I want to be closer with you. I don't know how to get there. I feel like I am lost. I catch myself holding my breath. It gets hard to breathe. I hate wanting like this. It's like an addiction. Maybe worse even. I don't need to be anything but happy. I want you to believe me. I want you to see it in me. Why do you always make me feel this way?
