Melancholy

When you’re happy, you enjoy the music but when you’re sad, you understand the lyrics. ~ Frank Ocean

 

Depression always feels like 

A riddle that one can’t 

Figure out

 

Anxiety always rides shotgun 

Like a toddler out of control 

Fidgeting with its seatbelt 

 

Sadness is the house guest 

That just won’t leave 

And refuses to tidy up 

 

When panic arrives 

All bets are off 

It's either going to be a party or a wake
