Depression's lullaby

Melancholia

I used to care

Loved to share

Passion? There was plenty

Now everything feels empty 

Why is life so deadly? 

Feeding myself to the grief

To the sadness, the belief 

That I will never feel relief

Not be able to get some peace 

With myself and my life

So close to using that knife

Will the pain set me free?

What do others see in me? 

Am I blind? 

OK, rewind 

 

Loving people all around 

Heartwarming and kind

Even got my dream job signed

So where is my satisfaction? 

Spiraling down

Unable to move

Nothing left to prove

Leaving all hope to drown

In my head's toxic town

That I poisoned on my own

    To each sad element there is a positive. Balance is a rule of the universe. A lovely write with a sense of balance, past and present what was and is. Love and apathy very nicely written
