Sadness

I think sadness likes me because

It's lonely

No one ever wants it,

They all wish for happiness

And it knows I do not like to exclude

It knows that I'm vulnerable

It knows I'm searching for a purpose

And convinces me that it's to be sad

So no one else ever has to be

It knows how much I wish for the happiness

Of others

So it takes me over and devours everything

One of the deadliest viruses I've ever faced

I'll never be immune to it,

I know of no permanent antidotes

I suppose I’ll have to suffer a while more

But it's better than

Others being sad
