Poem: Melancholy


The feeling consumes you rather slowly
And when you realize your hope defuses
Attempting to hide this grief haltingly
Will only make worse your broken hearts blues

You believe you can conquer this alone
Pushing yourself away from loving peers
But slowly your energy is far blown
And your focus turns to hiding your tears

Soon you become detached from the world
All you crave is an eternal stupor
People notice your sorrow unfurled
Yet don't see your suicidal future

Suddenly you realize you once loved life
So you let someone help put down your knife
 
-Malori Ann Howell
