Description
I...Have nothing
Saved for choking fantasies
Cloaked in self doubt and denial.
Do you even miss me?
Love is not tangible right now

In dark-cornered thoughts.
And here is the world
Teetering on edge
And I am on its shoulders.

Ha, brilliant!
My girlfriend showed me a parody psychology study today which stating that happiness should become a disorder, because in the realms of Literature and Art, happiness is seldom seen and is therefore an abnormality.
People took it seriously, despite it being a satire and it promptly made many people very sad.

What a literalist society we live in! The only people that could probably see the humor in that would be the artists themselves.

Very emotional poem. And I totally understand the emotions. Today has been one of those days where you just wonder, "Why does the world suck so much?"
