The Quicksand of Sadness
Sadness
 Comes to you undesired
 He is a quicksand 
 In which if you step in unexpectedly
 You can’t pull yourself out without the help of Happiness
 
 Happiness
 Revolves around you
 Waiting for you to explore the joy of life
 
 Thus
 Sadness sinks you deeper inside him
 Selfishly taking you along
 To a world of loneliness  
 
 Happiness
 Lending a hand
 Reaching for your sinking arm
 Floating over your pool of tears
 
 Suddenly 
 Thinking Happiness can’t rescue you in time
 Fear
 Hungry and cruel grabs you by the leg
 Pulling 
 While Sadness pulls you by the other leg
 
 Both desiring you to come along with them
 Inviting you
 One to a world of tears
 The other to a world of screams
 
 However
 Happiness is still hovering over you
 Waiting patiently 
 Longing to be your friend
 
 Fall into her arms 
 Remembering memories you spent with her
 
 Happiness will embrace you
 Obtaining you from
 Sadness and Fear
