Sorrow

Sorrow weighs down like a rock
Heavy enough to drown some
Others prefer carry the load
They swim through life
Shoulders drooped
Struggle for breath
All appears grey
Clouds settle on light
Sun gleefully hurts
Misery wraps around
Known and unknown matter no longer
Seek solace in strange places
Leave familiar shores
Paddle through turbulent waves
Discover lonely island where
Days are dark and nights darker
