A Multitude of Woes

poem by: Carl Halling
Written on Dec 12, 2019 

Yes, there was a time
I was obsessed by melancholy, 
I saw deep sadness,
The quality that so tormented 
My former favoured idols, 
Poets, painters,
Musicians, actors,
Creators of every kind,
As glamorous and romantic, 
But it’s not, 
It’s not remotely romantic,
When you yourself are adrift, 
And weighed down 
By a multitude of woes.
