The Reason of Melancholy

2 February 2019 8:46 AM

A melancholy morning to a melancholy day
Slowly passing by untill a melancholy night gives way

Then comes the melancholy week then the melancholy month is here
Travel through the next eleven and then comes the melancholy year

A melancholy decade and then a few more
And then you will walk through melancholy centuries door

As you lie within your melancholy bed and think back on your melancholy life
You try to understand what happened to cause the pain and stife

Will the answer come to you will you finally understand
That life was always with you, in the palm of your hand

All you had to do was release it and let it go
And then you would have had a grand life to show

But you clung to life afraid to let it go
And melancholy then set it in and life had lost its glow
