A Sadness Deep Inside

A sadness deep inside 
festering, crying 
pleading
to be let out 
let outside. 

To be free 
to wander, find solace 
be happy 
come alive 

This is all 
that
sadness asks 
all’s needed 
for that sadness deep 
deep inside.

It

Not having
It
Not seeing
It
Not feeling
It
Not sure what
It is.

But I’m hoping for
Pleading for
Trying to accomplish
It.
