Mental Misery

There once was a man who died very young, 
though the doctors knew not the cause; 
Even though he was in great shape, 
physically he had no flaws. 

But the man still died even though he was young 
and very very healthy. 
For he died of loneliness with a broken heart; 
He died in mental misery.
