The Blessing of Sadness – Jessica Rips
Sadness is a curse
And yet not
Sadness can be torture at times
And we wallow in our own despair
Sadness cripples us
It breaks our emotions
Limb by limb
Sadness consumes us
Like a fire to a match it burns us
But does it destroy us?
It can
But
We can be stronger
Sadness can be defeated
With the help of others
We
Will
Prevail
Sadness can teach
Experiences following loss and sorrow
Teach us to
Be
An even better person than we were already
And in the end
When it has come to pass
Sadness is a blessing
And with help
We
Shall
Overcome
