melancholy's Brenda

 
melancholy has come to visit me again
in shades of blue, she greets me
says finally you will know me
and the reasons I come to you

Brenda is brand new...
the woman you never understood
delicate creature. fierce in strength
she stood against the darkness
her heart saw you through to today

she is the writer inside you
she's been writing letters to you daily
she is your soul
with no need for substances

selfish and greedy is your flesh
give it to me now
instant gratification
it will be no more
you must control this part of you

your body...
but a container for the soul
it cannot rule...
listen to your quiet voice
it will direct you to what is right
this is a fight, one for your life

a future is promised to you
bright and shining
there are people waiting to meet you

this is your destiny, this is fate
don't be afraid of what is before you
come, greet me

my name is Brenda...
it's time you knew me
