A Walk With My Melancholic Friend

Have you heard the rumours?
I heard you're self-conscious, easily embarrassed, timid.
That you prefer to work and play alone
And you lack self-confidence and initiative.

You tend to detach from your environment;
reserved and distant
You are easily depressed; frequently moody;
very sensitive; easily hurt.

You don't form acquaintances readily
Cause you prefer narrow range of friends
and tends to exclude others.

I heard you worry over possible misfortune;
and you cross bridges before coming to them.
That you're secretive; seclusive; shut in;
not inclined to speak unless spoken to.

And you're slow in movement;
deliberative or perhaps indecisive.
You often represents yourself at a disadvantage.

You can't listen to these rumours.
They can't decide who you are,
cause you're unique just the way you are.

You are a melancholic,
yes! I know that
But you know what?
You are the best of them all
