What do I do when it seems like no amount of rest can bring back the energy and life I’ve lost along the way? Each day I am no more than an empty shell, walking this earth on a barren path that never seems to end.

POETS, TAKE NOTE
"I think writing about unhappiness is probably the source of my popularity, if I have any — after all, most people are unhappy, don't you think? Deprivation is for me what daffodils were for Wordsworth.
[A poem] "represents the mastering, even if just for a moment, of the pessimism and the melancholy, and enables you, you the poet, and you, the reader, to go on."
– Philip Larkin

“The same feeling of not belonging, of futility, wherever I go: I pretend interest in what matters nothing to me, I bestir myself mechanically or out of charity, without ever being caught up, without ever being somewhere. What attracts me is elsewhere, and I don’t know where that elsewhere is.” ― Emil Cioran

"I turned away from philosophy when it became impossible to discover in Kant any human weakness, any authentic accent of melancholy; in Kant and in all the philosophers. Compared to music, mysticism, and poetry, philosophical activity proceeds from a diminished impulse and a suspect depth, prestigious only for the timid and the tepid."
— Emil Cioran, A Short History of Decay.

“Having thus received ‘the revelation of the universal insignificance’, Cioran decided that the best possible social existence would be a parasite’s life – a loser. In a meaningless world, he observed, ‘only one thing matters: learning to be the loser’.”

i stand amid fifty thousand souls; unspeakably lonely, drinking from a brewed syrup of melancholy.

Hey.
Do you ever catch your own delayed thoughts
Silently, softly lingering for indeterminate time
Ambushing you with the ghost of your stifled tongue
To haunt you with the words you deign not to speak
Wit you had lacked in situ no longer ordered nor punctual
Merely returning to offer the fleeting reflection of a shattered self
Cajoling for the acceptance
That all you have been
Better or worse
May still be found
As You.

I don't know how to fall in love with life... It's like a miserable arranged marriage I can't get out of.

人間はみじめだ。 興奮や快楽どころか憂鬱や苦痛、はては呪詛にまで依存をきたすのだから。
Human beings are miserable. We are dependent not only on excitement and pleasure, but also on melancholy, pain, and even curse.

It feels like everything’s falling apart, but you know what the worst thing is? I keep on holding onto my melancholy, or rather it’s holding on to me like the plague. It won’t let go. I won’t let go either and I’m weak for holding onto such negative emotions for so long. However, I feel like pessimism is what gives me inspiration, what has given other artists inspiration. I feel like I will lose all my creativity once I let go of all the negativity within my brain.
