Mr Melancholy

His mood is sad,
the day was bad,
he wouldn't choose solitude,
but solitude never forgets his footprints.

Moment of distress,
think of a solution-S.O.S,
the shadows keep reaching for his soul,
he's tired of trying, tired of having another go.

A troubling discovery,
he is useless when he's happy,
When sadness plays a tune in his heart,
it awakens the genius in him to play its part.

Oh, the pain, the shame and regret,
all that could go wrong he never seems to forget,
perhaps the memories would haunt him forever,
perhaps this mood would be his abstract elixir.

"he wouldn't choose solitude,
but solitude never forgets his footprints." - I really like this RichieSam - he has no choice

An epiphany - he is at his best - closest to the muse when sad and more receptive to the words that help sustain him. Catch 22.

what a killer ending -
"perhaps this mood would be his abstract elixir." - BOOM!

well written my friend.

Sounds like a number of the writers here who do their best work under depression. All at varying degrees. Very nice work. Thank you for sharing

I believe sadness creates genius ideas
I am not a fan of it

But it does bring along a swirl of magic
In an attempt to get out of it ...... One creates beautiful things

A unique write with tons of wisdom

Thank you Nisreenaa. Sadness does have a way of bringing out the best in us sometimes.

The good people
Some people turn into monsters
and you cant help but run for your life

[Passengerr]

Haha, of course, the good people and maybe the wise ones..

Solitude never forgets his footsteps,
returning to the confines of our safe zone.
The soul reaching out like being pulled back into the wicked ocean and surrendering to it.

[Passengerr]

yeah Sin, thanks for the review.
