it was great for awhile nothing good ever lasts; the damage is done, but how does this help anyone, too good to fade away i just want to breathe, i hate ..........
a seed floating in the wind with no direction slowly fading away, it has no protection lands on the bank but sees no reflection a choice must be made, ..........
i was so blind why did i not recognize all the sadness drowning in her eyes? i was too busy to take some time and ask her what was on her mind i was ..........
i'm ready to give up i'm tired of fighting 'bout to give up just let it go don't need this pain it's breaking my heart don't want to leave you but it's ..........
remembering my classmates, after few years, my eyes were filled with tears, everyone now is busy a lot, no one escaped destiny's plot. saw the girl, ..........
leave the door open, i want everyone to see. leave my college letters on the kitchen desk. leave my clothes in brown paper bags on the floor. leave all of ..........
a young girl sits in a corner, praying her life will change. not many people care for her, she doesn't like to complain. she's tried to take her life away, ..........
teddy, i've been bad again, my mommy told me so; i'm not quiet sure what i did wrong. but i thought that you might know. when i woke up this ..........
desperately wanting the nightmare to end. unable to heal, unable to mend. repressed pain of the past, comes to haunt me at last. my sanity sinking, and ..........
burning, bleeding shaking, crying wishing, doubting slowly dying a hope for more time a wish for no pain a dream that your family never has to feel ..........
The sad quote
says it all by David Weatherford. “We enjoy warmth because we
have been cold. We appreciate light because we have been in
darkness. By the same token, we can experience joy because we
have known sadness. Sad poems give us a sense of inspiration
and hope at times. Everyone has their favorite sad songs,
albums, and sad poems and stories to surround them when they are
down. We learn through sadness that one of the best ways to
overcome the struggles life gives us by counting our blessings
and taking with us the inspirations of other’s sad poetry to
learn from them and apply the lessons in our lives. Sad poems
can be the breaking grounds for improvement of our character and
get us through the hardships we face in life.
POETRY IS THE VOICE OF THE HEART
Sadness, grief and sorrow are emotions we all experience. Poets and writers have long realized how expressing your emotions with words can help in dealing with the pain. To give words to your deepest feelings, to shape your most painful emotions into verse, to release the pain locked in your heart; this is the true power of the poem.
MANY FAMOUS POETS WROTE SAD POEMS
Some of the most famous poets lived sad, dark, depressed lives filled with pain, loneliness, depression and even suicide. These poets were artists who used words to express their painful and sad feelings and share them with the world. These words joined together became poetry, sad poetry filled with their yearnings for relief from their pain. Their unbearable sadness was the catalyst for some of the best poems ever written.

That second day of kindergarten, I ditched
while Miss Clemens bent at the sink,
helping Peter Farley wash the paint off his hands.
I scurried across the wide green fields that led
to the road where our row
of white townhouses awaited me.
I wanted no more days without my mother
placed in the center of every hour.
I wanted her voice, the scent of the perfume
she dabbed on her writst each morning
before we watched my father walk away.
We stood at her dresser while she released
the stopper from a crystal bottle so blue
it rivalled sunlight staining the ocean surface.
I wanted to travel with her
from supermarked to bank, dry cleaners
to drugstore, wherever the days life took her.
As if sensing some hunger to come,
I craved her with a fierceness that made me run,
as if knowing I would soon lose her to a sadness
vaster than any of these fields I could cover
with the pace of my own feet.
