Our sadness

Aren't all our problems, not real ?
Doesn't all the trouble, 
stem from not being able to 
deal with our sadness ?
Don't we do everything,
just to make the sadness go away ?
And then when it's walked to the corner,
don't we do everything we can
to get it back ?
All our problems come from not understanding ,
accepting, loving our sadness.
We fill silence with words.
We fill our loneliness with forced company.
We hold back tears,
just to keep the smiles going.
Go where ?
Why aren't we happy just being, right where we are?
Don't we know already,
that we might never reach anywhere, ever ?
All our problems, aren't problems.
Our sadness is all we've got.
