"I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul." -Pablo Neruda


I share a bed with Doubt

And I sleep with Regret under my pillow

I'm best friends with Insecurity

And I'm just getting to know Depression

I met Anxiety in sixth grade

And I had my first kiss with Fear

Anger lives next door and he's over for supper once or twice a week

And Frustration is an old family friend

I've hooked up with Sadness more than once

And Pain and I get drinks together every Friday night

 

Happiness saw me coming and turned around and left

Honesty never asked to sit with me at lunch

Courage never even bothered to read my resume

Luck made sure I failed every test

Comfort stole my heart and ran away with it

Love didn't even bother to say hello when I moved into the neighborhood

Intelligence always made sure to hit my shoulder in the hallway

And it turns out that Joy is a bully
