Sadness creeps in like a thief in the night
Stealing away joy and leaving only blight
It weighs heavy on the heart and soul
Tears fall freely, taking their toll

It lingers like a dark cloud overhead
Draining the colors from life, leaving only dread
A heavy burden that's hard to shake
Leaving us feeling lost and alone, like a mistake

It dulls the light, dims the spark of life
Drains our energy, cuts like a knife
Leaving us feeling empty and hollow
Wondering if we'll ever find a way to follow

But even in the midst of sadness and pain
There's hope that we'll find joy again
That the clouds will part and the sun will shine
And in time, our happiness will once again be fine

So hold on tight and...
