Sad

Say hello to Sad

With her smile covering her tears

And her dorkish qualities covering up the fact that

She wants to be the girl on the cover

The girl with the friends

The girl with the guy

Say hello to Sad

The girl from the “in crowd”

Who just wants to be loved

Not used over and over again

With her 35 “best friends”

Who could care less

About her bad day

And more about their latest fling

Say hello to Sad

With her straight As 

But loneliness that can’t be rivaled

And her nights spent wondering

If he even knows she exists

Say hello to Sad

Who sits at home

Wondering what to do with her life

Or goes to work

Only to come home and feel

Unappreciated

While all the time

Still wondering what the hell

It all means

Say hello to Sad

Who never knew that love

Was supposed to hurt

That they called it a crush

Because you got crushed

And heartbreak happens routinely

Like the common cold or yearly flu

Say hello to Sad

The girl sitting next to you

Your mother

Your sister

You

Say hello to Sad

Or better yet

Smile, laugh, love

And say goodbye
