Melancholy

A friend is measured by the distance

“Yer house is too far”, for instance,

Not by any means of the relationship

Nor by its meaning of friendship.

.

They just feed me with their dejection

Like I am some kind of contraption.

You thought you know me completely

Your assumptions they’re prematurely.

.

There’s none who can provide comfort

Or make me feel worth the effort,

How can I continue such partnership

when they can’t handle such hardship?

.

Males find this hard to understand,

Females show they can’t withstand.

How then can I not feel abysmal

when I'm seen as abnormal?
