Song of Sadness

By Strataic

You misunderstand
This darkness I carry

It's rainy day pastures
Wading through swamps
Knee-deep.

The fletching of my skin
To keep myself together.

And the mountains growing from my lungs
Are heavy sometimes.

My insides hide a black bubble
Made of tar.
Where my affinity for feeling
Lives.
As I cry myself to sleep,

I sing a song of sadness.
