Post a song that describes your mood.
Everything has been lived, felt and written about before anyway.

"Wicked Game" - Chris Isaak
The world was on fire
No one could save me but you.
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
No, I...

A classic.
The Big Kahuna monologue, originally inspired by this article:
________________________________________________
Advice, like youth, probably just wasted on the young.
Published June 1, 1997
Inside every adult lurks a graduation speaker dying to get out, some world-weary pundit eager to pontificate on life to young people who'd rather be Rollerblading. Most of us, alas, will never be invited to sow our words of wisdom...

I remember how they made this into a video that aired on MTV.
"Asking too much" - Ani DiFranco
I want somebody who sees the pointlessness
and still keeps their purpose in mind
I want somebody who has a tortured soul
some of the time
I want somebody who will either put out for me
or put me out of misery
or maybe just put it all to words
and make me say, you know
I never heard...

I have a friend who is never single. I know she fears being alone. I personally think the idiocy is what has been keeping me single, the loneliness is more tolerable.
phatlaces:
Seems like only monkeys where I live, but I prefer to consider them donkeys. 
Where is the bottom?
I should see it by now.
Instead, I don't. I seem to go deeper and deeper.
Deeper in the dark waters of what I know needs to happen
but I certainly do not enjoy.
I guess that the child I used to be
is still very much alive in me
and he does not like
and never will,

I don't think you are asking too much when you're asking for some beauty of some kind. I sincerely hope you find it before the darkness swallows you whole.
huck:
"Since the true artist always lives the contradiction
of feeling detached from the others
and yet creating something that will probably somehow reach the others,
it is difficult to remember that the others should indeed not matter
in the process of creation."
well, sir, you hit the nail on the head there! it really is a contradiction, and perhaps one without resolution. but the struggle is the process, and the process is the organism of art... it's true i was suffering from a block at the time of formulating my "manifesto"; the block is gone now, thankfully, but i would like to give the discipline a chance. however, it is very difficult, and perhaps contradicts the nature of poetry. we'll see... also true are the words of Mr Massee up there.

Don't you feel sometimes how it could be so easy to be happy?
I am training myself.

lemuria:
yes. its all just paying attention to your thoughts. but im sure you know that. usually seeing old people and babies and cute animals will change my mood to happiness automatically. 
phatlaces:
I'm usually content, but so easily my days can go either way.
I feel horrible.
It is a phase, I have lived this kind of stuff before
and I have learned that you always survive.
I have also learned that we owe it to ourselves,
as hard and counterintuitive as it may feel,
to protect our feelings and,
if necessary, set boundaries and raise walls
that we never believed we were going to raise.
It is not...

I am setting healthy boundaries.
phatlaces:
That's good. I set those for myself awhile ago.
Tune in and get back in phase with reality.
Make a step back and don't run faster than your life.
Let it catch up with you and slowly surround you,
once again, so that your rythms can, once more, beat together
and so that you may not suffer anymore from being detached
from what you should be a part of.
Flow back in phase, so...

Total burnout mode.
I feel like Italy, 1999,
before grabbing a backpack and heading wherever.
I feel and probably want to feel
that I am so fed up with everything
that anything is possible now.
I need to get out of here.
I should not lose this energy
and let it melt once more
in the reassuring and smothering routine of habit,
as soon as...

The kind of heat you are feeling, unfortunately it tends to melt things rather than spark things. I hope that you beat the odds and that it leads to a flame for you - one that does not consume you.
On a brighter note: hurray for cute doctor girls.

Too few people around whose opinion I really value, currently.
A little health concern that is bugging me.
Tired of being a rat employee spinning a wheel I care nothing for.
Tired of not having the time to take care of all that's waiting to be taken care of.
I feel at a crossroad.
I am not tired of walking, whichever road I'll end up...

I miss you too 
I miss our talks...it's so refreshing to actually talk to someone with a substantial measure of intelligence!
I miss our talks...it's so refreshing to actually talk to someone with a substantial measure of intelligence!How much of myself do I like?
How much do I hate?
How much is there in my life that I want to change
but that keeps being sidelined by lesser things?
I guess it is not just about what you accomplish
but particularly about your general attitude towards accomplishing anything.

It sounds like you are experiencing something
that is very commonplace with individuals
who are consciously trying
to grow and better themselves.
It's a good thing.

At my door the leaves are falling
A cold wild wind has come
Sweethearts walk by together
And I still miss someone
I go out on a party
And look for a little fun
But I find a darkened corner
because I still miss someone
Oh, no I never got over those blues eyes
I see them every where
I miss those arms that held me
When all the love was there
I wonder if she's sorry
For leavin' what we'd begun
There's someone for me somewhere
And I still miss someone
There's life after work and it can be such fun
You see all the models in magazines and on the walls
You wanna be just like them
Cause they're so cool
They're just narcissists
Well wouldn't it be nice to be Dorian Gray?
Just for a day
They're just narcissists
Oh, what's so great to be Dorian Gray
Every day?
We're living in a looking glass
As the beauty of life goes by
You're going to be so oh
You're going to grow so old
Your skin so cold
Well they're just narcissists
Well wouldn't it be nice to be Dorian Gray
Just for a day?
Such narcissists
what's so great to be Dorian Gray
Every day?
They're just narcissists
Wouldn't it be great to be Dorian Gray?
Just for a day
Just for a day
