The Blessing of Sadness


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
