Have You Lived?

 -

If you haven't ever felt alone
As though you were disassociated
or ever felt melancholic,

If you haven't ever been in love
Like you were their soul mate
And you were meant to be together,

You Haven't Lived.

Thoughts of A Melancholic

 -

Sometimes I feel lonely,
Fed up of everything.
Feeling so melancholic,
It has become the norm.

Bad omens surround me daily.
Being so depressed, that I have become allergic--
Allergic to happiness.

Even as a child, I thought of myself as a failure.
Even as a child, I hated the world.
Even as a child, I felt lonely.

Lonliness is seen as a sad state
But for me it isn't.
It allows me to find my inner-self
And be at peace with the world.

Although I have friends, I feel isolated.
As though, somehow, I don't fit in,
And looking back; I suppose I never really did.
