Why Is It Wrong To Feel Sad?

Why Is It Wrong To Feel Sad?

A Poem by Miranda Richard
"

Consuming

"
Why is it wrong to feel sad, why are my bad days toxic?
Sadness is like a disease or illness, and now it's becoming chronic

I cry by myself in my bedroom, because tears make people upset
I mention my struggles daily, but everyone seems to forget


The sadness doesn't go away, because nobody helps you out
They always insist that you're lying, and they fill you up with doubt


I feel like a storm is inside of me, and I can't make it through
I'm stuck on high seas, blown around by the breeze, 
abandoned by my crew


What is the cure for sadness? Because it never goes away
It hides down deep inside you, waiting to rise up again some day

Why is it wrong to feel sad, why do I feel so guilty?
Sadness is all I feel these days, and it's spreading far too quickly

I've tried talking it out, tried hiding it away, but nothing really works
These days, I accept it, and when it's resurrected, I think of it as a quirk

It's just another flaw, another part of myself I hate
I want to try and beat it, but I honestly think it's too late.
