“They say that happiness…”

Tatianya Montano 

They say that happiness will find you

 but I think sadness finds you too

It sneaks up on you in darkness

Just when you think you’re made it through

It’s open holes in what was solid ground 

the kind you never knew are there

Until you go to take another step and find you’re standing over air 

The world around you passes by

In blurs of color and sound 

Nothing around you making sense

As you continue you making sense 

As you continue your plummet down 

You can’t remember how it started

And you don’t know when it will end 

But you know that you’d give anything 

To stand up on your  feet again 

Sadness is that feeling 

When the falling doesn’t stop

And t saps your life of meaning

 and all the good things that you’re got 

So when you finally hit rock bottom 

and you look back up at the sky

What you once had seem far away 

The only thing left to do is cry

People say all yell out “happiness “ and “hope”

But they’re too busy with their lives to realize 

It’d be a lot quicker if they let down a rope
