melancholy

I feel worried that there has been such a long stretch of time without reward seeking behavior that the part of my brain which handles motivation is now a cold plate of hamburger

 

By this stage in a man's life, should he not seek another's company?

I don't chill as I did during the time my mind still was soft and simple

I've grown into melancholy, though many memories ago I'd desired socialization

 

There is globalization; I feel alone, I've bathed, I'm soaked in isolation

I set out two years ago to be sure that I learn before I continue to live, my reasoning suggested that this action shall produce enormous benefit

and my self-esteem was gleaming hot & sensually satisfied

This I learned at 21 was not just for women

But for the wise whom admit they need it

 

I shall try to smile more, perhaps my brain does not know what reward is

I will fool my brain into happiness, you'll see

With a new mindful world these words will be continued
