there is such sadness in the smallest places, such sadness is the biggest spaces.
i feel sadness for young, unsupported mothers,
the idea of elderly people growing lonely.
i feel sadness for young, unsupported mothers,

i feel sadness for every generation who only knows violence.
i feel sadness for every child who isn't loved in the way they want to be.
i feel sadness for everything that goes to bed empty
i feel sadness for the scared and helpless and hurt
i feel sadness for everyone living paycheck to paycheck
i feel sadness for everyone who feels imprisoned in their own masculine or feminine body
i feel sadness for every young person who spends thousands of dollars they dont have on an education
i feel sadness for everyone who has no passion
i feel sadness for everyone who has not known love
i feel so sad for corrupt governments, broken social justice systems, the treatment of animals, the treatment of criminals, the treatment of mentally ill
i feel sadness for everything dropped down on a train track
i feel sadness for worms when it rains
i feel sadness for bugs stuck in windowpanes
i feel sadness for broken homes
i feel sadness for hospital bills
i feel sadness for lost photographs
i feel sadness for all that is ripped, crumbling, burning, and forgotten.
i have to remind myself that it is not okay to feel the sadness of everyone and everything sad in the world. it is the hardest thing for me to do.
