My sadness comes

I waited all day

And all

Night.

I pushed it down

And waited. 

Even driving 

Home I 

Would not 

Allow myself

To release

My sadness.

It's 8:11 am

And it's been 

A long evening.

I lay down 

In bed And

Lay in

 Silence. 

As I let my sadness 

Out I start 

To cry 

First very 

Calmly. 

It's a calm 

Cry, then

I release it.

My sadness.

I cry so

Hard for 

All I give

With nothing in 

Return

And I am exhausted.

I cry not because 

You don't 

Love me,

But where

I fall in 

Your life.

I cry for 

This job 

That is 

So hard.

I cry 

Because at 

Times I give 

But what I receive 

Is second best.

Exhausted I start 

To fall asleep 

And wonder 

What am 

I doing this 

All for? 

I let 

Myself go...
