OUR SADNESS

The Sadness

it comes in waves

the sadness does

we think there is no end to this

and there isn’t

as long as your heart is opened to the world

you will feel all this sadness

we are disconnected from our true selves

you’ve heard this already

a million times

when you hide your sadness

you hide your heart

when you hide your heart

you imprison your joy

Grieve for your losses,

Grieve for all our losses

We are in this thing together

We are connected to one another

Whether we feel it or not.
