i dont think this melancholy
qualifies as "clinical depression" the mood disorder

that's where the confusion in nomenclature comes in
not to negate the melancholy/sadness

i call it frustration
[which might explain the murder motivatioin!]
and resign myself to waiting for the inevitable kickin
and try to get as comfortable as possible
and then sing amazing grace to my cat speckles
which makes her come nose to nose purring
