Carry your sadness well by Obinna Chilekezi

Carry your sadness well 

Sunday was an eclipse

The darkness overcame the beauty of a day

I saw you boil like a volcano

Unstoppable, the lava purges on and on

I have seen ecstasy of love shine

And bitterness of hatred groom in you

Just like the petal fades from the hibiscus

And the heart spreads venom as smile

Come off it, this should be another day of love

As the clouds cannot withhold the rainfall for too long

See the mash, the frozen music of dawn

And the sun spreads the day with laughter

You cannot stand there all alone, along with sadness

Come up now join the world to smile

Each a person, with a burden to carry

And yours not an exception to be.
