Melancholy
The best and worst days
are the ones that are
so perfect that
they make me sad.
The days with a breeze blowing through
my hair; the days with
clear blue skies reflecting on the ocean;
the days with the warm sun
on my face, and
everything is peaceful, making the moment
feel endless and immaculate and yet,
something is still missing.
I can never place my finger on it:
Am I lonely?
Am I happy?
Am I nervous?
Am I excited?
I can never understand the
strange feeling in my heart;
the feeling that makes me
want to run away and never return,
the feeling that makes me
want to stay here
till the end of time.
I can never place my finger on it:
Am I unwanted?
Am I content?
Am I scared?
Am I elated?
What am I on this beautifully somber day…

This poem was inspired by Sunday afternoons that seem endless and make you question life because they're so boring to me. This is my first poem to publish and I don't normally write poems so please give me feed back! Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy it! :)
