Seasonal Depression

Seasonal Depression

A Poem by Maya M

I don't know how to write about heartbreak
or unrequited love
Without sounding cheesy
But don't know how to write about anything else lately.
You see, my room is messy
With old clothes
Empty cups of tea
And books I've read, books I'm reading,
books I'll maybe, someday, read
No, I am not smart or condescending
I just like the feeling 
Of being somwhere else
I still haven't decided 
if this place I'd like to dissolve into has you
or not
But that's not the only thing i haven't decided about yet
Because my room is a mess
And a while ago I had your hoodie
lying around here
I hope I won't be feeling this way 
forever
Because we both know you will,
at least about me.
To you I'm like a nice bus driver
I am the feelong of waking up in the morning
to find out class was canceled
I'm Tuesday night pizza
A pleasant surprise
You could easily live without
And to me 
To me you are the sun 
In the distant north
It disappears for months at a time
And even when it's there
Its light is so weak
you can barely tell it apart
from a florescent bulb
And it's dufficult
It's very hard
To manage without
Though eventually everyone gets used to it
And maybe like those people in Scandinavia
I'll expose myslef to fake sunlight,
and I'll be happy without your light
Or at least I'll be sure enough
to write about something else.

I don't usually do reviews, but the title caught my attention. First stanza, I fell in love.. The second, broke my heart... You gave me a roller coaster ride that I didn't expect. This is beyond beautiful..
