I have melancholy in me I call it creativity I call it thinking I call it uniqueness My childhood isn't to blame for the general sadness within Nothing is to blame That's just who I am Sad Don't feel sad that I'm sad, because sad is just me It's filled my body, and I like it there It'd be more sad if I were happy all the time, because happiness is always temporary. I'm content with my sadness because I know that it's me. And I'm content with me Don't tell me to write happy because I never have and never will Even if the poem has happy words Just know the person writing is nice n' sad, smiling away the happiness When you ask me what's wrong, because I'm looking down and I say nothing is wrong it's true, nothing is wrong because sadness is my truth and it's impossible for truth to be wrong.
