Technically, you can't see I'm sad
That's because I haven't been coloring
That's because I haven't been crying
That's because I function like a normal person
Clearly, that means I'm not sad

But that doesn't mean I am happy
Yes, I smile
Yes, I laugh
Yes, I complete most of my responsibilities
Obviously, I am happy

But that is not so.

I have reached a plateau
I don't move up
I don't move down
I don't move in circles
I don't move around

I sit in a line, going straight into space
Going straight into nowhere
Going to the abyss

It's an endless cycle of moderate
Mixed with an unceasing parade of mediocrity
Nothing exceptional
Nothing disastrous
Just a plateau

And I'm stuck.

I am not sad
I am not happy
I am just a rock
A flat topped rock in the middle of nowhere.
