Sadness is a pain to bear
Whether or not wanted it is a fact
But while the cause of pain might not be fair
Even without just cause or reason it is a pressure that
We must use and gain from it
Even if that means letting go of things we love
Sadness is the true test of your grit
But sometimes it feels that it is something controlled by above
With little to be done and little to be said
With no control, you lose sight of goal
Whether the pain be from words or places with scarlet ground on which you bled
Sadness is something that eats at our very soul
And if not any joy is to be had then the sadness with set in and stay
And at that time the best thing is just to pray
