Guess what? The title has nothing to do with what you're reading. Shocked? Don't care. Melancholia Sweep through my insides Signing away my life on a slip of paper God's given graces God's men You looked like you had a fork tongue I came to you Modestly Dressed in Enjoi and a Beanie I wanted to hide the cat gang on my shirt Look presentable I was in front of the higher ups This was serious stuff But you mistreated it I should have come naked And flopped my **** around It would have been about as serious As you took this get together Wow, that was atrocious I can't believe I wrote that But these feelings are true And I won't try to fight back My wording could be better That I will admit, But honestly, the way you handled this Makes me sick So I sign again, Hoping this time, for the better I signed this piece of paper Letter by letter Signed the date, And away Goes that weekend On a retreat Hoping for different Not expecting much Praying for better Than a fancy lunch

Super personal poem, but felt it necessary to write. Not super relatable, and for that I'm sorry.
