Melancholy Heart

It's a beautiful day weather wise,
You're alive and relatively health.
Nothing has happened to disturb you--
But the feeling creeps in--melancholy.

You have friends and family
That love you.
They say you're a nurturer and
Comforter, so why are you blue?

God has blessed you immensely,
And He's proved to you that
You're strong enough to face challenges
You would've never thought you could hack.

You fight battles for others
That need your help,
Firm and steady on a mission--
But sometimes don't take time for yourself.

You can empathize with others
With feeling sad or alone.
You've been there yourself and
You've come through it each time and grown.

You're not crazy or demented,
You just can't stop feeling sad.
You're not that way always,
And it doesn't mean you're bad.

You need to have more self-esteem,
Trust in God more strongly--
And yourself more too.
And say goodbye to melancholy.
