depressive

"I feel good when things are going wrong,
I only listen to the sad, sad songs ;
I'm only happy when it rains" - Garbage

everybody wants to hear
something good,
hey it's understood

but that's not
where I'm at
and I'm tired of masquerade,
tired of
making sour lemonade

I don't wanna hear
that there's nothing
to fear,
that it's all up
from here

I wanna hear
melancholy and fear
from Elliott Smith;
cause that's the crowd
that I'm really with

I don't want to tell
no more upbeat lies,
spent too many years
covering up my eyes

Well yes there is enough going on in the world to become depressive about apart from actually suffering from a real depression. OH dear

Ah, don't worry too much, Pia. It's just poetry. I do have depression issues, but I'm definitely not without hope.

There is always hope left at the bottom of Pandora's box !

actually, I never seem to write what I'm really feeling at the moment. so if I'm writing depressive verse, I guess that's a good sign.
