Melancholy

I know there's more to living,
'cos I remember the good ole days.
I see friends enjoying life,
without my general malaise.

My reserve of get up and go,
long since got up and went.
Dropping pennies into wells
but all the wishes are spent.

A drip drip effect
eroding the essence of me.
The overwhelming feeling
is one of melancholy.

..Sigh..

It seems like trouble is brewing, which always makes me frown. When shadows engulf our minds and throw away our crowns. When something happens, it fills everyone with rage.

Paint It Grey

Beat back these colors from my sight. I care to see them not. Yet vibrant hues of stubborn spring. remain. Spring's song my soul forgot. Beat back these colors from my sight. Discordant to my eye.

Hiding In The Deep

Hiding. In. The. Shadows deep. Barely on the ground. Living. In. My. Own world. No one else around. Taking. Over. In. And. Out I begin to zone. Want. You. All. Just please. Leave me alone. All. Alone.
