Welcome to Melancholia
May I take your Joy?
There's more than ample Sorrow here
For every girl and boy
Welcome to Melancholia
Please leave your Smiles at the door
Help yourself to those Worries there
You can always come back for more
Welcome to Melancholia
Where every day feels like Rain
Leave your Sunshine at the gate
Be sure to bring all your Pain
Welcome to Melancholia
Where Misery's a familiar face
Where Dark and Brooding Thoughts
Will always have their place
Welcome to Melancholia
May your stay be Dark and Grey
Be sure to visit when you like
We're only a Frown away
(Author's Note: No, I'm not depressed. This just happened.
It seems to me like we look for the cloud behind the silver lining, like we're just waiting for the melancholy to set in. This little piece reflects the fact that sometimes, we choose to escape into a world of misery, just to assure ourselves that life is balanced. After all, it's not right to be happy all the time, is it? *smile*)
