Drafts of the Girl - #8 Noose of Melancholy



Day 8: Monday, 19.34 p.m. 

 
I haven't been writing for a while. 
 
The past few days have been kind of mellow and hazy, and I can't quite recall what I ate, where I slept, or what I've been doing. Some sort of darkness, with neither a body nor a soul, entrapped me in a hollow space where light didn't shine and sound wouldn't resonate. 
 
I didn't feel scared, not even an atomic ounce. 
 
Rather, I felt relieved. Relieved to be away from everyone and everything. Even if that darkness chose to suffocate me with its feather of obsidian tendrils, I wouldn't have protested. 
 
Sitting there idly, I had nothing but time to reflect on myself, despise my actions, and loathe my soul. And it dawned upon me. I do not know anymore what it feels like to be happy. I simply don't. 
 
I scrambled down my memory lane to discover instances where I lived in a trance of joy. I couldn't. 
 
There were circumstances that were worthy of happiness, but my heart was just veiled away. 
 
Ever present was only one, solo feeling. Melancholy. 
 
I am weaved in melancholy. The color of my blood is blue. My eyes see shades of gray, and I breathe a gloomy air. My food tastes stale, and drinks taste like mud. 
 
What good is life, where I can't feel joy?
