Melancholy

They might have wanted you to feel sad
No. Wait. They don't want you to talk about that
Let's suppose there is no sadness-it's all fake
OK. So we begin with this as first principle:
There is no such thing as your own sadness
There are only your own personal failures
For example, not working hard enough at a task
In the winter during the gloomier colds no sadness
Just a kind of anxiety about all your failures
Failing as naturally as a great cat rips apart prey
So, you see, it all makes sense without the gloom
Indeed your sadness cuts against the natural order
No wonder people get so upset at your melancholy
There's never anyone to blame except yourself
Leave knowing it's never OK for you to feel sad now
