Sadness
Beverly Bernice Finney 1963 (Macon, Ga)
When you are alone and feeling sad
Don't get upset or even mad
Give your self bit of a chance
To try on a little romance
Believe in your heart
Or maybe in some other part
Whenever you're feeling alone
Just remember, don't stay home
Get out and enjoy life
You see now, you're not feeling up tight
Just...leave it up to your self to give it
all your might.
