Sadness hovers over me.
It captures my soul.
It pierces my heart.
It has my attention.
Sadness constricts my breathing.
It stifles the air around me.
It suffocates me from within.
It is a relentless foe.
Sadness dampens my spirits.
It cradles me in a death’s embrace.
It steals away all joy and hope.
It has taken all I have been given.
Sadness restricts my movement.
It paralyzes my mobility.
It traps me within my body.
It keeps me in a relentless state of vertigo.
