Clings

Your sadness clings to you,
Did you know that?
Have you seen how it stains your skin,
How it pierces your flesh?
You try hard to cover it up,
Wash it off
Conceal, they’ll never know

And you’ll never know
What it is like to not be this way

Oh yes your sadness clings to you,
It damages you
It will destroy you
If you let it

And I’ve seen you let it
Let it grow and grow,
Making every thing good and generous
Become twisted and monstrous

You’re letting your monsters in

You’re captivated by the sadness
You think it’s a blessing
And maybe
Maybe it is

Not for you,
No for some other soul
You’re lost and losing ground

You’re falling
and
sinking
and
Drowning

Your sadness clings to you

You try hard to cover it up,
Wash it off
Making every thing good
Become monstrous
While you’re captivated

By the stains on your skin.
