Unexplained

How do you explain a sudden wave of sadness? A strange feeling of despair mixed with anger which grabs you from nowhere.... you can't of anything going particularly wrong.. so what is it? Is it an inadequate night's sleep due to a power cut? Or bad roads which hurt your back while commuting? Is it that a person you regularly chatted with, now seems distant and has found someone else? Why does even a close friend's birthday fail to cheer you up, possibly because the friend seems to have drifted away, while you try your best to sustain the relationship? Or it is the grey sky which makes the mood so sullen? Is it an unacknowleged e-mail whose reply you were eagerly awaiting? Or just seeing someone happy makes you wonder why you're not that lucky? Why is it that even music fails to uplift your mood sometimes, you flip through all the FM channels but can't stick to any one song? TV adds to the despair because all you hear and see is violence and panic over swine flu. Sometimes, even seeing your favourite actor's interview doesn't really make a difference. It's possibly just a bad, sad day.... Even as you wonder what's wrong, why everything seems so dull, you may think - hey, it's just another day and it will pass. And maybe things don't seem that bad anymore.
