Down Melancholy Path
The day is still the light is dim
The fire burns deep within.
The soft pillow underneath my head soaks up my tears,
And keeps me still as the night departs.
I close my eyes and forget the place
Where I found dread and hate, and distress.
One foot in front of the other I trudge along
Feeling the darkness follow me
Surrounding itself around my heart, feeling its wrath.
It was in pain.
I took a walk down melancholy path.
I hear the voices screaming the sounds of fear
They let me know that I am near.
The air, the beauty of the world has faded
The fields are covered with sorrow’s aftermath.
The sea turns to ice
The sky turns black
I took a walk down melancholy path.
My body stops and falls to the ground.
An unholy spirit rises to greet the world.
The silence is painful.
The hate, the fear, the sadness washes over my heart,
Cutting it like a knife.
The pain is unbearable.
There is no solution
The spirit washes away
Feeling regains
But I refrain
I hold my breath.
The world turns grey.
melancholy path fades away.

This year I have been going through some rough times, and was having a hard time expressing how I felt, so I decided to write a poem about what I was going through and what other people might be going through too. I wanted people to know that other people are experiencing what they are experiencing too, and that they are not alone.
