Sadness
I am
the sleet slithering slowly
down a dirty window pane.
I am
a discarded packet of crisps
mournfully blowing
across an empty country road.
I am
a lost, shivering puppy
with nowhere left to turn.
I’m a downhearted donkey,
tramping through dirt;
I’m a child being bullied,
the pain and the hurt.
I am
a river that has run dry;
an ocean full of oil;
a polar bear stranded on a lonely ice floe.
I am Sadness.
