" -to be a rock and not to roll..."
I've been feeling numb for weeks, nothingness all around me i just want to cry but i can't, i want to smile but can't find a reason to. I just want it all to be over, i don't wanna be here anymore, constantly striving for silence but living through the noise. its not fun being alive, its pure melancholy, I wanna see the white light, the echoes of archangels, the song of sirens, the void of life.

soul-crushing
the sudden unsettling realization that it's not a phase, it's who you actually are.

14 word woe
i haven't experienced any type of emotion for a while; haven't got too angry, too sad, too anxious neither did i get too happy, too calm, too relaxed as if all emotions faded into a black hole inside my heart. have all my attempts to conceal my feelings triumphed? if that's the case, i don't want to be a winner, i want.....i need to lose. *it's that thin line between being too emotional and too emotionless; a bipolar effect.*

gradually, then suddenly
lying in a fortress of solitude would you dare bare it all? or you'd back out cause, it will lead to your downfall? hiding is your major flaw; going in circles of self-perpetuating frailties, you'll break like a straw dear death, you are woe with a scythe in disguise

requiem
the city is a beautiful place it's a place for the lonely and the hurt you go when you need people and meet friends going to a bar and listening to great music, the greatest smoking cigarettes like there's no tomorrow talking long walks in streets you feel like home watching the neon lights light up the city trying new foods from different ethnicities

part two: the city
there's melancholy in the nighttime that's very appealing as a nocturnal owl, i find great comfort in the dark so peaceful and silent like everything is put on mute it makes you feel infinite, unrestrained one of the few good feelings in life

the anatomy of melancholy
we seldom stop and say, "that's my father who raised me to this day." we take things for granted, and forgot that with their gentle touch; we were once enchanted; like a modern day Cornelius, (Agrippa) with each story he tells, you figure he's a misunderstood genius.

conversation with father (inspired by Zbigniew Preisner)
nature. nature has never failed me never made me angry or sad, always containing me like the mother it is there's something soothing and so magnificent about nature watching a dark forest lit by moonlight watching green moss and foggy nights watching scattered clouds in the sky watching the stars as the light up the sky, and feeling safe that there's a man in the moon watching over us, with an ever sad and lonely gaze upon the earth watching the waves as they come and go; hitting with gigantic force the brick blocks watching the road on a summer's day; sitting in a car going as fast as the wind watching your skin shiver as a gentle breeze passes watching the grass and the trees and the flowers dancing with the wind watching the birds chirping and being alive listening to the rain pouring down wetting the streets and everything watching the night envelope itself with a certain chill yes, nature. nature that made me cry once......with joy.

part one: nature
it's fascinating how our moods swing back and forth, from dark to light from gloomy to cheerful from suicidal to bubbly from hate to love from anxious to calm
