Pink Depression

When basic solutions give acidic burns,
When everything in our head just topples and turns.
Our emotions are not in control anymore,
When it seems like everything colourful walked out of our door.

It's the feeling of being Comfortably Numb,
The reason behind our sophesticated grace.
It's when we feel awfully stupid and dumb,
And take an hour to complete a ten minute race.

We know we're sad,
Gloom and monotonity is hovering around our face;
Flowering trees look like frowning sculptures,
Good things become a disgrace.

We've been trapped in curls of enormous lies,
Left stranded all alone (note the pun.)
We feel like we've been overcooked and fried,
Chewed up and spit out from our bones.

Either there's some Brain Damage happening,
As we Have A Cigar and count Sheep with Dogs.
The other options are far too frightening,
Like driving on narrow mountains in the fog.

The fear of rejection
The anxiety of hate
Pseudonymous identity of betrayal
All work as one so we break.

We're in a frenzy but can't cry,
Streetsmart but not sly,
The Dark Side of the Moon calls out to us,
As we say Goodbye Blue Sky.

Sigh.

Those were the Happiest Days of Our Lives,
Decades of Time have passed since then.
We used to sparkle with authority and pride,
Now it's just Us and Them.

This write up has two purposes. Firstly, to ask people to not be depressed or sad about anything. Because being sad sucks. Let the light Shine on you Crazy Diamond! :D
Secondly, DID ANYONE GET ALL THE PINK FLOYD REFERENCES? There isn't any random capitalisation or italics. It's all Pink Floyd. (Now do you get why it's 'Pink' Depression??)

I'll be doing something similar on the 12th of every month. Although, instead of telling you which artist or band the poem is based on like I did this time, I'll let you guys figure it out from the references itself. This is going to be so much fun!

Thanks for reading!
Kanksha :)
