All the things I say

"All the things I say..."
    my lingering part sentence left in notes
  the endings to unwritten poems 
           never to be known
   I'm on the hook
             yet unanalysed with no results in
       forever placed there by myself
                   left to rot
     unless I of course lift the melancholy 
        and go on a jolly abroad with friends
     thereby completely forgetting the whole thing
       everyone will laugh at my jokes for 3 days
            I'll dance not caring who is watching
       drinks pints
        that juxtapose nicely 
   with my otherwise hopefully elegant presentation 
      and return home
          too tired for the Monday that follows
    whereby my inner melancholy 
                 will again try to rear up
     and I can hopefully offset it with something else
       one day
        I hope to store the affirmation I get 
                and ignore the inner critic
     and be a poet who writes about bees instead
         exclusively bees
   possibly a bit of what would a bee think
                 but definitely not a melancholy bee
       are bees melancholy?
            nope, they are delighted by their own knees
