Between full of joy

And the bitter taste

Of the many emotions

A person master or toy

Is effective or a waste

As the person notions

…

 Consistent is no part

Nor a given thing

Restless is the soul

To balance is an art

Then you must cling

To what keeps you whole

…

 No simple answer present

Concrete or symbolic

To accept it or resent

Poem for the melancholic
