❝Are you doing well?❞
A very simple question,
but hard to answer.
Melancholia is a collection of haiku that echoes the sentiments of the young generation today, who have silently fought hard lately in order to surviv...
I am tired running in circles just to survive. Let me breathe, for once.

IT FEELS LIKE my soul is lost somewhere in this world while my body remains unmoving by the things that drain me the most — life.
There are days that I only want to lie in bed and do nothing aside from staring at the ceiling. There are days that I let my intrusive thoughts win and only regret my actions at the end of the day due to sudden realization. There are days that I want to spend time with my friends but alone at the same time. There are days that I lose interest in everything, even to myself. There are special days I want it to be ordinary because it feels normal to me, no matter how I look at it in any possible way.
Tell me, what am I doing with my life? I am probably wasting my time when I am supposed to have a great life ahead of me. However, I am tired and lost, and not even a single thing can help me find myself in the middle of chaos.
Tell me, am I still living or just barely surviving? Because I want to breathe, but how am I supposed to breathe when life already choked me to death?
I may be alive in the eyes of everyone, but I am barely surviving — save me.
