Sadness

by Swila Bathool
(Karama, Dubai, U.A.E.)

Darkness covers your mind
you have no hope that they will find

You feel you are all alone
you become alert to what you are prone

You find it's dark everywhere
to show you light, there's no one there

You feel you are not in-need of
your mood starts falling off

Your mind whispers you are useless
but don't despair don't become hopeless

You will only find mistakes in you
you feel no one heed whatever you do

You cry and cry
until your tears become dry

Lo, there came a candle light
you find something that is bright

You stand up and try to walk
your mind whispers, no they won't talk

This time you deceive your mind
the silent whisper of what you find

You stand up with courage, ready to face
you recollect about your base

Who you are and what you are
what they need of you so far

You start to mingle
then starts to giggle

Realizing the silly matter
that caused sadness now doesn't matter
