The Song of Sadness

There is a constant song that plays within my head

With a sorrowful drum

A secretive voice

And notes of repetitive dread

The tune was once light, bright, and happy

But has now been bittered by time

Once a perfect backtrack

But now a taunting rhyme

The song reminds of the darkness hidden in everyday

I try to tune it out with happiness

But still, the song will play

It's laced with sad, dark memories

Of moments and people lost

It reminds me how short life is

And every decisions painful cost

Every day is a battle

With this melancholy concert in my head

Maybe I should just stop fighting it

And sing the song instead
