Just realised,
I feel nothing anymore
Absolutely nothing.
I am sunk in my blues
Conditioned enough
That I feel guilty.
Even the good!
doesn't get me anymore
Fear | Pain | Empty
That's all I know!
Now I am sitting upset,
Upset because I ain't yellow
I am sunk in my blues
Acting I am fine,
when actually-
I am feeling out of line.

- Comment from author about the poem: I have been feeling this the whole day, and not having anyone to talk to, my only way to breathe was to write this. I understand everybody feels this way sometimes, but what about if for months or over a year someone feels this way? Or all her life growing up? All I remember is fear, bad and sorry. Why don't I remember the good parts?

One should not wish to be yellow, at least in American English, for it is equivalent with a coward. Blue is a much better color, my favorite in fact. All kidding aside this is a sad poem reflecting fear and guilt as underlying motivations for depression. When one confronts one's fear it falls away, maybe into nothing maybe into anger but regardless one now has something to be proud about and guilt dissolves. With the dawning of this new day the sun comes out and will paint you golden.
My reference to blue was depression, and yellow was a joyous person. I don't know, I no longer feel excited even about achieving anything, no matter how big or small. A couple of beautiful things have happened recently, yet I feel nothing; my reaction is 'It's okay' instead of being happy when I have put in so much work for that thing. I just want to feel joy again. I hope the sun comes out and paints me golden. Thank you so much for coming by and sharing your insightful thoughts, my friend.
You are most welcome Samprikta I knew what you were referring to with blue and yellow I just wanted to redirect the thoughts to something brighter. Hope things improve
if you cant get the good parts from what has passed, create new ones in the present and future , good write
I feel like I have been stuck for a long time. I am slowly trying to do things I enjoy and find myself again. Thank you so much for coming by, my friend.
enjoy the journey and make the good times great, enjoyed your poem
Great poem and highly relatable.
Thank you so much!!
happens to most of us some time or the other - the answer is to take into account what is good in our lives, and be grateful; and you will feel better once you count your blessings..
Yes indeed I feel better now. Thank you for coming by!
