Sadness

• Eli Goldberg, Grade 7

• 2022

Silent tears flowing like a river,
Always out of sight.
Destroying the world,
Never will it be bright.
Eagerly waiting for it all to end.
Selfishly hoping no one will see,
So full of the pain that lies within me.
Sadness always by my side,
Another day goes by.
Destroying the world,
Never will it be bright.
Everyone around me,
Shining so bright.
Silence fills my night.
