I was high on spirits
had it all sorted out
I hardly had any confusion
or any doubt
But one fine day, sadness crept in
I tried pushing it away
like million times
it sat beside me
I felt lost
lost all the hopes
I knew life has to go on
Hello, said sadness
I felt numb and was about to succumb
I felt dark
but I had to do it right
deeply moved inside, I sighed
The hope was gone
but I must go on
I said to myself
and I took sadness in my stride
I accepted it with arms open wide
now we stay together
if sadness had gravity
It would have pulled me apart
I would have been broken and parched
but it stayed
it helped me shed the weight
I was carrying on my mind
for others who have turned blind
I found my gravity in the brevity
If sadness had gravity
it would have stayed forever…
Love, Priyanka
Eloquent! Glad sadness doesnt have gravity. If it did it would have anchored us at the bottom of the ocean and not let up
