Shade

From the mind of madness I am able to write words with such sadness Slipping into that dark pool Emotions are just a tool Embracing this dark tide Sometimes taking me on such a ride Yonder I ponder While sitting beneath a tree Thinking on all that I see The darker side of life , smites me a darker shade of gray Darker in every way When your just a shade , beyond the grave So hard to wave Melancholy Dried up holly The lack of jolly A writers best friend The places it will send Lost in your mind Words to find Explaining , with words , the sad Of a good man , feeling bad Deeper and deeper I sink Madness on the brink Just to think Lost on the river of blue On its knowledge I drew It's pain I already knew Seeking the right word Just waiting to be heard Making it real And the reader feel What you have to say In an emotional way
