do I feel sad?

do I feel sad?

well, yes, I do

I've been feeling bad

the whole day through

from the first breath

to the last amen

it looks like my sadness

will never end

          but down deep inside

          I know it isn't true

          so why do I

          feel so blue

do I feel sad?

I've been down that road

but lately it's changed

to a permanent mode

it begins every morning

it continues each night

this feeling that nothing

will turn out right

          but deep down inside

          I know it will end

          but for right now

          sadness isn't my friend

do I feel sad?

let me give you a clue

all the good that I have

I cannot do

but maybe tomorrow

I'll start to belong

and then realize

that I was wrong

          and deep down inside

          my pain will be done

          my life being happy

          has only begun
