Title: In the lows

Poem: Sadness looms like a catastrophic wave hovering over me
Feeling like a soldier fighting the wrong war
A babe without its mother
A lioness who can''t find her cub
A lover who refuses to love
A clown who is not funny, a rainbow on a sunny day
In a maze I cannot escape
Like a trapped animal in a cage
Misunderstood, not loved enough
A swan who lost all beauty
River that never runs
Quicksand that swallows my body
Like I am in a crocodile''s mouth
A tiger ripped my heart to shreds
Pirahna that encompasses me
A tree that won''t grow
A diamond that never shines
A beach with no sand
Alone
Ignored
Unloved
Distance
Avoidance
Non-existent except to myself
Annoyed in my own skin
Thankful sadness loves me if no one else does
Rejected and abandoned
Like reciprocating negative actions...
