Melancholy (Acrostic)

Maybe today will be different

Existing in this empty shell

Languishing over every thought

Anguish seeps into each decision

No wonder life just passes by

Can’t stop this vicious cycle

‘Help me,’ I scream to no one there

Only the sound of the ticking clock

Loneliness takes over again

Yet another day of my non-existence

Acrostic poetry: acrostic is where the first letter of each line spells a word, usually using the same words as in the title.
