Poetry
July 26, 2018
there is not much to be said when
everything you want has been said
already, and
the replies you hear are all the same
"it's all in your head, man"
"if you try hard enough, you can
convince yourself it doesn't exist"
"it's all about how much attention you give it"
"just try to be happy,
you know?"
they mean well
they really do
I know it
but
it feels real, and
even though I may have no
reasons to be sad,
I just feel that way, and
I am trying to get better by
opening up to my
Poetry
instead of
People,
and
I hope it
works.

This really hit home. It’s absurd how someone can have the skill to portray emotions so accurately into words. Brilliant
A sad poet tries opening up about his sadness to his poetry.
