"The feeling of despondency and pessimistic outlook towards life"

"This poem is related to pain and deep depression with a little bit of humour that's good for a giggle."

I am feeling blue,

As if I have to pay my dues.

The inferiority complex is a bane,

For those who don't take care of their mane.

Destructive criticism is like sudden outburst of emotions,

Health is a curse without,

Proper nutrients in potion.

Life is a bed of thorns,

Without struggle and giving up easily.

Hey! Pals come along with me,

To pluck some lilies.

Darkness and shadows are everywhere,

As in search of bliss on earth here & there.

I have depression and can't,

Perform well at functions.

I am prone to pessimism,

Like the reflection of,

Rainbow colors on prism.

The words of encouragement can be magical,

On the bright side it's,

Easy to fickle the funny bone and tickle.

Hope or despair which,

Will you choose?

Must enjoy vacation on the cruise.

The sky is the limit,

So strike for gold and,

Showcase your talent,

Later, on you shouldn't repent.
