About the Poem

This poem is about the bitterness that people keep within themselves, and how they are afraid to show their feelings.

Sorrow

Sorrow is the color of peach,
Sounding like a pitiful scream,
Tasting like tasteless meat,
Smelling like pale buttercups,
Looking like never ending guiltiness,
Feeling like an alcoholic in the rain.

Sorrow is white with anger;
It sounds like never ending pain
And tastes like rotting bread.
It sounds like spoiled strawberries.
Sorrow looks like a dead bird;
It makes people feel bitter.

Sorrow is the color of a gray cloud hovering the dark sky;
Sounding like a storm of thunderbolts,
It tastes like a dirty rainfall.
Smelling like a muddy bank,
And looking like a loner in the deserted alley,
Sorrow is the feeling of guiltiness.

Can't nail the feelings better myself. I am trying to heal myself and helping my friend deal with the loss of her son. It is the hardest thing I have ever been through. It is a life changing experience.
