Sorrow

They say sorrow floats

So I put mine in boats

And float it away –

Couldn’t bear it to stay.

You can’t drown sorrow though

As the records all show

If you drink to forget

You’ll remember it yet.

When I float it away

It will come back one day

Often worse than before

Beating down my mind’s door.

So there’s no other way

Face your sorrows today

Deal with each one by one

’Til your sorrows have gone

I posted this about 4 months ago, but it is appropriate for this challenge, I think.
