Melancholy
Melancholy
I feel drugged although I don’t get high
I feel sad and don’t know why
I feel guilty although I never lie
I get board easily, so I constantly sigh
You ask why?
So, I say why, ask why?
Just comprehend my emotions that I clearly state with this pen
My best friend
So, relax and let the world pass you by
You don’t have anything else better to do
Do u?
While you’re sitting at your computer checking e-mails
And your monotonous job
Overworked and under paid
No benefits, trying to survive
I’m writing this, 2 the best of my wits, glorious
Isn’t it?
To eventually get international reconizition
For my pen collaborations
And just chill
Sign a deal, and let my poems pay the bills
So, I study the lessons of my predecessors and do the math
So I can drive down the same path
As Hughs, Robert Frost, and Maya Angelou
To fill those shoes would be great
So I debate, calculate
Each word is selected and interjected
With the utmost importance
Analyze this
So my work can be studied by Ive league colleges
My importance to this, subject matter
Is something u can’t fathom?
Or comprehend the meaning of
That’s what I love
To have a secret like the Mona Lisa
Each word so unique in its own way
Never the same
And this is by far not my best day
Or the worst
I’ll see
But 4 now I just feel
Melancholy
