Melancholy Blue

What makes a mind,

Go so deep inside?

Once outgoing, happy,

Now in thought, it hides.

 

Maybe it’s chemical,

Just metabolism.

Shock to a person’s,

Body system.

 

Taken down by illness,

High temperature ensues,

Well again, but laden,

Melancholy and blue.

 

In some it occurs,

Like a flip of a switch.

Happens over time,

Then, succumb to it.

 

Some make a choice,

Move on, decide.

Others struggle,

Feelings never subside.

 

The mystery of that state,

Just up, left, and went,

To a deep dark place,

Forever despondent.
