Moment of Melancholy

One of these days I’m gonna leave this place

Pack up all my things and walk away

But what kind if space am I head toward

And from what am I trying to escape?


Maybe it is a part of myself and a person I no longer want to be.

The memories are too raw and fresh and not enough time has passed for my wounds to heal.

Even a warm sunny day becomes a source of sadness

As life continues along at a tepid pace

Monotony leads me to madness

And routine has dampened the spark in my soul
