A POEM A DAY 101

DEPRESSIVE LAMENT

If this be happiness
Then give me hell
I would rather die
Than rot
Sometimes I wonder
Would death be better
Than this dark torment

If this be happiness
Then give me hell
Cause I can no more take
The dejection and disaster
She emits
Whenever she's awake
Surely, death would be better

If this be happiness
Then give me hell
This is my depressive lament
I know that death
Would not be better
Even in this dark torment
