and its oh so tempting

to slip into the welcoming mist

to drown in the intoxication

of Frown.

it’s the acceptance of desolation

in a world of bleak depression

which answers to the name Psyche.

and its oh so tempting

to surrender to the darkness

to wave the white flag

forgoing any chance

of Smile’s victor.

and its oh so tempting

to slide down the slippery slope

curve and twist and immerse

in eternal Despair.
