Here it comes.
Its capacious claws of dejection,
seeping through the cracks,
to diminish my perfection.

I simply try to breathe,
But by the melancholic waves I am defeated,
Optimism is drained and slowly depleted.

I try to run, run,
I rummage through the rooted pit in search of the light,
My conscience longs for joy and struggles to fight.

But no,
Its on its route, around the bend,
Hello sadness, my old friend.
