La tristesse

I am never going to be one of those morose, sad think about death all the time kind of poets. I am genetically wired happy. But I do have sad days, and today has been one of them as certain parts of my world have come crashing down and made me sad and then when I'm sad I start thinking about all the other things that make me sad and then -- well, when I get sad like that I get to this really great place for writing poetry. Not here. I hate workshopping bad enough as it is to think about posting a poem here...but yeah, I think being in this little dark place for a while might do me some good.
