hello, good evening! your words about being sad and you handling it in general pulled at my heartstrings fr, i often put up a front or force happiness, so when you said its ok to be sad and that sadness is actually needed it was nice to hear. i am very hard on myself and being weak isn't something i enjoy and i criticize myself for it so when i hear you accept it, it makes me feel better and more okay with myself that i'm not the only one who feels these emotions. i also feel bad for being so mean to myself when i think about it as me being mean to a sad version of myself. i almost teared up lol my ms. sadness almost jumped to the front of the table lol, she loves to be at the front lol smh, its alright though i'm used to her at the front. anyways onto poetry, a love letter to sadness.
i honestly hate you
because when you come along
my throat closes up
its hard to breathe
my heart drops
tears well up and sting my eyes
my mind is racing a thousand miles per hour
all i feel is pain and humiliation from being weak
i wish u never existed then id be able to do everything exactly how i need
without my emotions clouding my judgment
but...
as much as i say hate you i cant blame you because you are a child in my universe
meant to exist here within me.
you are just as valid as ms. happy
you may hurt me but without you i wouldn't have ms. happy
so in the end im grateful for u
you're step one in my protection program (step two is anger, step three is indifference)
you're my first one to step up to protect me
you are the one who never forgets
you are the one who teaches me and makes me grow as a person so
i love you, and the rest of the children of emotions within my universe

aw i love this self acceptance ❤️ thank you for sharing, i love the idea of a 'protection program'
your poetry prompts have been super reflective for me. here is what is in my brain as a love letter to sadness
Sometimes i wish you werent so clingy.
wrapped around my brain
sometimes i wish youd stay longer.
help me finish this thought
i often act like i do not love you.
but its because im afraid of what comes after.
ah thank you for sharing liam! i love this, especially the last line being kind of self-referential and making you think
A love letter to sadness
I met you when I was just a small child
We picked bouquets of dandelions together
You were there when tears fell
And when I couldn’t sleep at night
We became all to comfortable together
I don’t think I ever could love another
As much as you
this is so sweet! thank you for sharing, jasmine ❤️
