Try a minor key for starters, and if you hear it and it sounds happy, it didnt work. I find that the sadder the piece the longer the durations are in the piece. A very good example of this is Beethoven's 9th, listen to the 1st-3rd movements, as he wrotes it about being rather lonely but when the 4th movement starts, it becomes about triumph, and so the durations pick up which is noticeable.

If you want your song to be sad, start off by choosing a minor key; this will automatically sounds sad. Slower songs would probably be sadder, and perhaps you could add some faster parts every here and there to sound more angry?
There are also things you could do throughout your peice to make it sound more sad - you could modulate (change key) to add variation, and adding extra accidentals perhaps with chromatic intervals will add a sad effect to the piece.
I am not sure if you want your song to be sad throughout, or whether you want it to have more angry 'disraught' parts too!! If so, include lots of dynamic contrast and use both very low notes and very high notes as well as the middle notes of your instrument/s.
Try listening to other sad songs for inspiration, and good luck! Hope that was of any help!
