Sadness And Despair

Endless thoughts are running in my mind,

There is no happiness I find.

There is sadness everywhere,

There is a silence of sadness and despair.

I roamed places in search of happiness,

I saw people lacked their basic need,

I realized there are also people who are filled with greed.

Those people lived simply, their smiles ceased.

There was misery everywhere,

There was a silence of sadness and despair.

I looked at the couples,

They were happy at that moment and got separated at next,

I guessed they would be together forever,

But they say it was for the best.

There was silence among the two,

There was a silence of sadness and despair.

Mistakes and apologies,

Regrets, guilt, and pain,

How much more is left to suffer?

There is silence at the peak of the mountain,

It resembles my peak of suffering,

There is silence in the depths of the sea,

Which is like my depths of regret.

There is silence in the midst of forests,

There is silence after regret and guilt,

There is silence after unspoken truth,

There is silence after spoken lie,

There is silence after the loss of a beloved one,

There is silence in me,

There is silence everywhere,

This is the silence of sadness and despair.
