Gray


It's a good weather
for melancholy.

I've been unhappy,
so I was unkind,
and it made me unhappy
all over again.

Do I blame it on them?
Do I blame it on hormones?
Do I blame it on circumstances?
Do I blame it on me?

It's a chronic disease,
this need to find a culprit
for every single thing.

But no matter what the answer
that I end up not finding,

back among these walls
I cannot see the sky,

and artificial sun

brings no emotion to me.

I have somehow come into thinking that there is not much that differentiates happiness from unhappiness save the two letters "un". Really.

You mean like a matter of perspective?

I think whatever we feel we feel it, so in a sense we can't help feeling unhappy. But in line with what you said, it is after all our mind who's labeling that feeling with "happiness" or "unhappiness", so it's a decision whether to dwell on it or not. =)

partly because something that makes me happy is the same thing that would or could make me unhappy, at the same time, or at one time or another.
