Short Sad Poem

Happiness And Sadness

My mother died 3 years ago from suicide (it's longer than I thought). I was just 11 years old. Since then, I have been writing poems. Some are just random scribbles. Others have a lot of thought. This poem is one I have written recently. My poems have been veering more toward "getting over it" recently. But I still miss her every single day, and I will never stop using my birthday wishes or shooting stars on wishing for her back.

Yeah, it is actually true. When we cry, we get relief from the pain.

The Opposite Is Also True

They say it's sweet that we laugh
because our bodies literally
can't contain the
joy.

But the opposite is also true. We cry
because our bodies physically
can't contain the
pain.
