im sick of my sadness and disgusted by my grief. i fear there is no cure for a melancholy spirit. day in and day out i will sit on the verge of tears in fearful contemplation that not even medication will make me better. not even poetry—that's the reason i started, to get better. not even therapy. not even my dog—my most reliable source of happiness. i fear i am condemned to a life where i walk the threshold between depression and melancholy. where i will cry more times than i will speak. and i will spend more waking hours rotting in my bed than i do asleep.
