The Privaleged (Free verse) by i_am_the_popsicle
seriously, how sick is it,
that sadness is a luxary
that we feel we don't deserve
it probably has its roots in mothers
who coereced their children to eat
with threats of poor children in China
but the children in China will always be poorer than we are
our awareness of this has escalated
and now we are not even allowed to be
sad or lonely or depressed,
since afterall, others are always worse off than we are,
and my problems simply cannot compare
alone in dark rooms tears are shed
in shame more than sadness
and we wonder why our rate out suicide is so high
