A Poem About Sadness

By Samantha Patrick

Let heartbreak

Be your motivator

Let the pain

Burn in the soles of your feet

Let them carry you

Away from what was –

And into what will be.

Let sadness be your friend for a while,

But know that she too, will leave

And be replaced with contentment

Greet contentment with open arms

Because contentment will lead you to love

To future happiness,

With a new name

And a different face.

Let new love discover all the parts of you

Even the ones old love could not accept

Remember old love with fondness

But do not let him hold you back.

New love will accept you,

So let him.

Let him love you

Like you are supposed to be loved

And when new love too becomes old love

Greet sadness as an old friend

Let him wrap you in his arms

And promise you that next time

Love will be better

And when better love arrives

Let him better you

And smile

Because sadness was right.
