Sadness doesn’t discriminate and hits all of us.  When we feel disadvantage and a sense of loss due to life’s discourse we often withdraw ourselves and become melancholy.  This in turn can often time lead to depression and loneliness.  Whether if you feel the need of comfort of a best friend or seclude yourself in this trialing time, sad poetry can be the best solution to organizing your thoughts and emotions to better understand the situation and yourself in the process.  When one expresses their emotions through sad poetry, it serves as a great tool to lift the heavy blanket off their shoulders and free them to push forward to overcome life’s many challenges.  You will find sad poetry in many epic poems such as in Beowulf and the Iliad.  Sadness gives us reason to appreciate life’s joys and sad poetry can serve as that path to finding that out of one self.
