Melancholy is Funny

Growing up the birds were singing beautifully

It goes chirp chirp chirp chirp

I stared out the window longingly 

Admiring those wide eyed sweet little angels


Surprisingly somehow fast forward into the future 

And I promised it’s national monkey day 

The birds goes ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh ouhhhhhheeeeee

As if it’s giving birth to an empty hay 


Those days I was a winner in every hopscotch

These days I’m a whiner at every crossroad 

Back then instant noodles were a privilege 

Right now al dente pasta is an entitlement  


Season changes every single day 

One minute it’s heatwaves 

The next it’s hailstorms 

Together the moon and the sun shows up

It’s simply splendid as if there are no dimension that were meant to be dismiss
