Somberness is like a dark sky filled with beautiful and shining stars, but the stars are all concealed up by clouds. It is as dreary as cancelled plans to go chill at a water park with friends, ruined by a rainy day. Have you ever loved someone so dearly, that you’d do any and everything to see them smile, but they simply do not reciprocate those feelings and they’d rather only stay for a while. Fleeting happiness is worse than long term somberness, because those short, beautiful moments of ecstasy being gone is worse than hell. Somberness is similar to traveling to a field of sunflowers, only to find they’re not yet in bloom. Somberness is the reason why 800,000 people a year commit suicide; they simply couldn’t take the feeling any longer.
