Do I have a disposition for sadness
helpless to the tide of unhappiness
that overtakes me
just one drop being enough
to tip the scales
the flood gates opening to despair
and I am utterly hopeless
at even attempting to keep
my head above it all.
And the pain hurts so much deeper
because of recent joys
I've been caught off guard
swept away by sweet talk
and kind smiles, but
the return of reality is always
fierce in its familiarity
I don't think there's much point
in trying to find solace in another person
don't think I can pretend
this will ever disappear
Am I doomed for sadness
helpless to the tide of unhappiness
that overtakes me
just one drop being enough
to tip the scales
the flood gates opening to despair
and I am utterly hopeless
at even attempting to keep
my head above it all.
And the pain hurts so much deeper
because of recent joys
I've been caught off guard
swept away by sweet talk
and kind smiles, but
the return of reality is always
fierce in its familiarity
I don't think there's much point
in trying to find solace in another person
don't think I can pretend
this will ever disappear
Am I doomed for sadness
