There are a lot of things to do when sad:
watch movies
stay in bed all day
write

but the one that always makes me think
is the music I choose to listen to
the music without words
without lyrics to convey emotion

you can listen to it for hours
it might not change your mood
but you can do it
without faking a smile
or bursting into tears

we fall into this trap of just feeling okay
and thinking thats enough
"at least I'm not crying"
well you aren't smiling either
or enjoying life

but no one has found a cure
no passage out
so on I will continue
feeling quite mediocre
