Restoration State



Restoration State

When Ms Melancholy runs towards me on a winter’s morn
The greaves of my sorrows tear open and I mourn
She embraces me with relish but her heat has the bite of a radish
An emotional grifter that fools me into sadness

Yet I’m powerless to resist and so I stare once more into my damn abyss
I hate her yet she is too my muse that I could miss
A kaleidoscope of thoughts and emotions that wrench my world
Thoughts of mortality and seeing nothingness, the rise of nihilistic turmoil

I know they are the altruistic, bad and priss, demons of evil machination’s hiss
Self-pity too I decry, a momentary weakness
Do I have to become an emotional pauper to stop these tumbles?
Within the cavernous abyss there is no bliss

And so the dawn climbs as desperation opines in my mind
That center of feeling also the core of emotional healing
It can’t change anyone’s reality
It can raise attitude until the abyss is only a mist and your sun shines valiantly
