about

I'm one of those people that like sadness. This is how I felt about sadness when I was 26.

lyrics

This sadness

Can i make this a sweet sadness? The kind that gets me writing amidst it and my agony convinces my pen to keep printing and i am in it but not completely in misery

can i make this sadness productive, so i am glad for some of it and some good could come of it, am i that lucky or will it just keep me down?
I looked up sad in my thesaurus and guess how many synonyms i found..

i could be crestfallen, dejected, despondent, i could be woebegone or desperate or broken-hearted.. i think perhaps i am a coalescence and it's best if i just take this depression and get started

i could take this discontentment and make it work harder, it could be some sort of working martyr for my soul- searching cause. Aren't artists supposed to have emotional hardship, does this not serve to spur us on?

i'd like to think so, put down my handkerchief for a pen with good ink flow and then put down a new poem and then something insightful and pull myself out of the doldrums where i dwell and take this sorrow and make it worth my while.
