PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My melancholy thoughts keep me company

I lock them all in my mind for safe keeping

They force me to be sane, for they are the only ones who can comprehend 

I'm selfish with my melancholy thoughts, I do not like to share

"They're mine! I built them up!" I yelp

And I coddle and kiss them as if they're my children

And if discovered,

I'd just be another dehumanized prescription and 

Oh, melancholy would be long gone
