Description I am meant to be depressed.
Because how else would I
Understand sunsets and sinners
Blue moons and cold nights
Beach bonfires and love in your eyes.

I wouldn't.
Without the thing that
Drives me over the edge,
Rips open my insides
Lays them bare for all to see.
My internal, twisted me.

Because I pine for forget-me-nots
And cry over rose thorns.
Hooked into my skin
Screaming how they love me
And only want to hold me close to them.

My crazed emotion and roller-coaster heart
Make me.
My sporadic outbursts of stumbled words
Complete me.
And in these I am formed a poet,
Made of what is missing
And never truly there.

So I am always empty,
Hollow, used up.
And in my brokenness I am happiest,
For here, I make my art.

Understand that and you will see me
For the happy shell I am meant to be.

I like the rhythm, and the emotion is captured very well! Quite relatable, I say!
