On sadness.

I know I'm sad

I know it by the way I smile

when the day is over,

my cheeks hurt and 

I guess I smiled a little too much

and I didn't feel like smiling at all, after that.

I know I'm trying,

trying to live, or 

at least trying to take it a day at a time

slowly

very slowly

I know I'm going to survive

it's just that right now,

I can't smile or laugh properly

I keep hoping that I won't wake up

it's just that right now,

I can't be happy

but I'm still going, even though

I'm crawling 

but I'm still going

slowly

a little day by day
