Melancholy Thoughts
Melancholy
sense of depression
lost within the silence
waiting for a spark to happen
to ignite yourself
trying to just relax
get the emotions to feel again
Yet there is this restlessness deep inside
rooted in the burdens
in the stillness that is waiting
for something to happen and occur
that can’t be fully explained
There is this monster that broke in
shuffling through my memories and emotions
through my sense of self and fears
searching inside my house for a way to get to me
to get everything to fall apart
have who I am to crumble away
to lose myself
There are train tracks ahead of me from this dirt road
leading me back to where I need to be
where I want to be
where I am me…
