the sadness wrapped tight around
my body

the sadness has me thinking of terrible things
in my past

the sadness robs me of the joy i should be feeling

the sadness is a creature that is so cunning

the sadness brings me to my knees

i have no will to move forward

my sadness has a hold on me

this is not who i am

i don't know or welcome it

but it made it through in this house

i hate who i have become

just hate it
