4am

the saddest people stay up until 4am

listening to the earth

wondering where they fit

their hearts are full of pain

and their eyes full of tears

but they have hope

the saddest people find hope where there isn’t

they enjoy the little things

listening to the sounds of the early morning

holding on for another day

any second it could end

the saddest people are the ones we overlook

they are the ones who hide behind smiles

and try to make us feel loved

because they know how it feels to be alone

they are what keep us alive

it's 4am and the birds are chirping

I might barely be alive but I’ll hold the world up if I have to

the saddest people stay up until 4am

you should thank them

The saddest people do not stay up until 4am. Those are the people that have fulfilling lives, they have so much to live for that they subconsciously refuse to miss a moment of it. Hence, the lack of sleep. Some of the saddest people, could be the people that choose to sleep through life and they miss out on so many wonderful experiences. Great poem, extremely relatable.
