The Melancholy takes its hold on me
And stops me from achieving peace of mind
It blocks my sight so thus I cannot see
It feels much like a chain I can't unbind
When faced with sorrow, I must find a way
To combat its dark, foreboding power
The struggle to win lasts every day
Every minute of every hour
But often I can break free of this curse
And for a time become myself again
Despite this feeling of being much worse
It helps to be able to talk to a friend
A good friend is always one worth keeping
When compassion is what you are seeking

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

A very impactful piece. I love this line ‘But often I can break free of this curse And for a time become myself again’.
