A form of depression; melancholy
wraps around you like a shroud of dark thoughts.
And it's impossible to feel jolly;
your mind can no longer connect the dots
when gloomy feelings start calling the shots.
You get wistful and socially withdrawn;
in life's game of chess, you feel like a pawn.
Overwhelmed by sadness, prospects look grim;
for it's hard to find the will to press on
when any chance of happiness seems slim.
