Poem Commentary

I know this seems really sad  and  i guess its because thats how i was feeling when I wrote it  But any poet  will tell you  You write it how it comes out.  and thats how it came out.  I was listening to that song like a couple days prior.   (Sade King of Sorrow). And after I heard it  It played it self over and over and over  days later Hence   KING OF SORROW  Enjoy family

KING OF SORROW

I’m trying to gain clarity in the midst of confusion
Trying to maintain sanity in the midst of a delusion
I get a head ache  A massive migraine
I feel like crying  when it starts  so I stand out in the rain
Or go stand in the shower for 1 or 2 hours
And let the misery pour out from inside me
It’s the only way to heal  the only way to be free
The only way I am able to show this smile when you see me
I keep my pain to myself  without keeping it inside
Map out a long stretch of road saddle up and just ride
Then I scream out to the heavens cuz there is no one else around
Just me the trees the sky and the ground
See they can handle my issues for they have none of their own
So I don’t hold back  I Really pour it on, I really let it go  I really bare my soul
Then I feel rejuvenated and ready to  go another go
But why so much pain  Why all this grief
No one sick or dying or recently deceased
Its gone for today but what of tomorrow
Maybe I  Myself am the true king of sorrow
I’m crying everyone tears it seems
Morning  and Night  and all hours in between
I seek refuge from my throne in the depths of my dreams
But when I wake to a new tomorrow
I shall don my crown as the King of Sorrow
