I like sad poetry because it’s a way to express emotions that I might not be comfortable expressing with words in other ways. Sad poetry can be incredibly powerful and relatable. It can also be cathartic, allowing me to express my feelings in a way that I feel is safe for me. The words in sad poetry can also offer comfort, solace and inspiration to help me better cope with whatever life throws at me. It’s a way to relate and connect to other people in a powerful and meaningful way. Above all else, I appreciate the feeling of being understood by the words of other people and that, to me, is why I like sad poetry.
