Patronizing Sorrow Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Sorrow lining my mind, giving in to tears hidden away.

Unfounded thoughts, crawling on all fours, searching
for the spectacular romance that only occurs in fairy
tales, once upon a lifetime.

Reaching for the empty glasses of hope and belonging,
bereft of friendship and left alone on avenues of
insincere dialects.

Patronizing only the sorrow, wafting it's way to me.
