Why Be Blue
When I listen to the blues they always make me sad,
by bringing back the memories of the sad times I’ve had.
So why then do I listen? Why do I bring myself down
listening to blues songs like, “The Tears of A Clown”?

By looking back at sad times, I set my soul at ease,
for they give a true perspective of life’s realities.
See, there were many happy times and these are what I choose,
but I know I wouldn’t enjoy them if I never had the blues.

About The Author
My writing doesn't follow any set genre, it's interdependent of my mood and all that's taking place in life. I'm still finding myself, what I write constitutes the markers along the path of that journey. With time, many things will manifest in my work and perhaps I will pursue one or two genres. For now, it's not, "What type of writing is my passion?" "Writing is my passion."
