He had always endured a passion for the arts

but most of all, he indulged in music

he wanted to bring joy to their hearts

he created songs  so cherubic 

he learned the guitar and played all day

he played for hours, till his fingers callused 

although he thought he knew the way

the world was full of malice


all he wanted was that his story be heard 

but no one desired to see

and that is how it had occurred 

his songs of sweet melancholy
