Tired


My instrument lies quiet in the dark, dusty and forgotten
And I wonder if I should give it away to the kid that has music in his eyes
The blind reality wrestles with the hollow lies, love and hate salsa tonight in the spotlight
Mania and depression cultivated the fruit, anger and denial fed her the bitter sweet wine
On hope’s funeral, faith sings in a language no one understands
I feel like a forgotten book, marked up at a page
Waiting for myself to pick it up one more time and start reading again
They say that it’s getting late and that I should get going
But I just need my mind to fallow for a while
If and when I am back, I’ll ask for the time
And I’ll set my clock to your time.

Why is it that negative moments rhyme so well? Rather, why does pain seem more beautiful in text, literature and in scribbles?

Beautiful.

the right hemisphere of the brain is associated with negativity and creativity...that is why rhyme comes more naturally in melancholy.
