The Saddest Kind of Sad

Pain, sorrow, heartache, disappointment, loneliness... all of which are a part of life. They can be feelings that creep in even during a moment of joy. They can come like a wave on a sunny day, and sometimes they are like a little cloud that just lingers. It just stays right up there in the sky, and as soon as you think it is gone it starts to block the light. Sometimes they make wounds so deep, so sever that they almost seem to damage the nerves so that you can hardly even feel them anymore. Sometimes, and in the worst of them... they are hidden. They are the pains that you can't show the world. They are the pains that you smile through. They are the ones that if you show, you know that life could simple not go on as it is. Sometimes, you are so strong that you are broken inside. In these times when someone asks how you are, you are not just "okay" or "good"... you are "great!" You are holding to all of those greats. You are believing that these other dark spirits in life have never hunted your mind; your heart. This is when they get to you the most... the saddest kind of sad.
