A Gloomy Mood

Author: Runping Chen Gazing at the yellowish walls around I kept myself at the corner of the room. Although I intended to disgorge All the skein of ashy sorrow in my mind, Within the restrain of predicament I heard nobody’s voice outside Hardly can I find the track of light And neither can I knock at the door of my heart. Outside the window, door, and house, Everywhere the glinting brilliance is. The morning sun is baptized by the morning glow While in the haze the gloomy mood is moving to and fro.

Almost describes the person being in a fugue state. FUnfeeling of the activities of outside.

yes the sunshine lifts the mood To be depressed is so sad. sometimes it last for a day or longer. Play music to lift your mood like your favourite song or do something you like to break up the mood. Have a nice day my friend.

I'm sure many can relate to your poem about loneliness and depression. I particularly liked the penultimate line I found it very uplifting and would recommend to out into the sunshine as it lifts ones spirits enormously:-) hugs jan xx
