A form of depression; melancholy wraps around you like a shroud of sad thoughts. And it's impossible to feel jolly; your mind can no longer connect the dots as gloomy feelings start calling the shots. You get wistful and socially withdrawn; in life’s game of chess, you feel like a pawn. Overcome by sorrow, prospects look grim; it's hard to find the will to press on, for any chance of happiness seems slim. (Dizain) 05/22/2023 This poem required the use of the following eight words: wistful, withdrawn, grim, melancholy, shroud, depression, gloomy, feelings

You have described melancholy very well, Emile. It can be such a sad and wistful state of mind & heart. On the other hand, melancholy has been the source of many beautiful poems! Regards, my friend // paul
