sad poetry

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

Some Days
Some days I’m here Some days I’m not Some days I see reality Some days I’m stuck in a dream Some days I can can achieve everything

Lady in Red. Top Story - June 2026.
Dear Reader: I commented on a piece; someone else got hurt. And I do not know where to go with this. I feel like we should all be able to say what we want here and that we should not flame anyone for words that we did not want to hear. But I accept responsibility for not seeing how deep this would reach and I offer this brief poem as an apology.

Killing the Moment
Killing the Moment The evening started gently, Soft music filled the room, The worries of the working week Had finally lost their gloom.

Today I gave away 5 minutes of your voice In exchange for the pens you got mad at me for obsessing over Yesterday I carelessly spent 20 minutes of your voice

Oppositional to teenaged Immortality, Envisioning car wrecks Around each corner Mid-journey Which never come, Even if the tension remains

Goodbye, My Friends
Do they know how it feels to be cast aside? Do they know how it feels to be buried alive? Do they know how it feels to have almost died?
