Melancholy

How one emotion can save, and destroy.

Of melancholy distress

a sorrow I feel

Drinking the agony from the worlds cup

Of how quickly the cord may sever

And how loosely it hangs to virtue

A soul drowning in a sea of pity

Wading through an unmapped city

With disgust and rage to cling to

Sorrow and fear dragging one down

One may forever keep himself equal

Between the indignation to his land

And the despair of the multitude

How one emotion can inspire

And how it can also take away

Where one may want to live

Another, fears the coming day.
