Sad, composed and questioning
face following the
o
I am sad when something happens to my friends or
family or myself. I sometimes try to have a composed face while I am sad even though
I might not do a good job. The worst part of any day is when I am sad. It makes
me question things about myself my surroundings and what should come next for
me. I sometimes feel like my insides are going to fall out of my face if I cannot
stop the sadness. Then as a solution is call my mother in order for her to stop
my train of sad thoughts in order to feel good about myself or a situation. I love
for her that. She always makes me feel good. So does my dad, do not get me
wrong, but he is not exactly the emotional type of guy. Sometimes my sadness
can be fixed with a simple picture of a monkey I have in my apartment. It
sounds silly, but that picture of that monkey smiling always makes me smile,
and then I just feel better about whatever I was feeling sad about. Sadness is,
more often than I would like, a feeling I get; I am only human.
I appreciate the honesty in your piece!
ReplyDeleteYou convey great images with "I sometimes feel like my insides are going to fall out of my face" and also "train of sad thoughts".
ReplyDeleteYour descriptions of the monkey-portrait makes me wanna get one for myself. Good example of balancing melancholy with optimism.
One of the problems which really amplify the agony associated with grief is that we are supposed to keep it concealed. "Keep your issues to yourself" - sounds familiar, does it not? Well, let me cite the words of a very wise, sophisticated and acknowledged philosopher; fuck it. Keeping it bottled up inside does not only increase the pain, it can also give rise to self-destructive thoughts and behaviors. Just like Sabina, I also respect the honesty poured into this poem.
ReplyDeleteWriting game 2 wasn't really meant to be published on the blog, BTW... But the piece is actually a perfect example of what the source of writing game 2 intended writing to be doing - the therapeutic, healing effect of the writing process...
