Joy?

Searching within the dew of truth,
Acknowledging the lies that brought me here
Droplets of rain form and descend on me,
Nurturing with arbitrary empathy
Even when the drops dry away with time
Solitude remains with me, as I
Savor my dilemma with contempt

Inspiration:

There are two messages to convey in this poem. The first message was conveyed perfectly by PATW above. Thanks.

The second message is hidden within the structure of the poem. The title is named Joy? while the first letters on each line spell the word "sadness". Things brings me to the central question that this poem is based upon.

At what point does a person feel joy through their sadness?
