"How are you?"

Edge of a Feeling

By Cassie GPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

Feelings of….feelings

Not directly exuding a certain one

They are convoluted

Depressed? Certainly not.

Just often melancholy

Happy? No, not happy.

Laughter comes haply

Lonely? That can't be true.

Days filled with loving interactions

Excited? It can't be.

Not when laced with anxiety

So then, none of these can be the right answer

Yet, simultaneously they all are

Nursing off of their dregs

Longing for the satiation of their full potency
