Into the
   depths of anguish;
      plunged deep.

Gone in a flash
   job held dear for years.
      In a daze...

after
   a lay off;
      no fault...

of his own.
   He now finds
      himself at crossroads.

"Where do I go from here?,"
   he...
      morosely wonders.


(Yalto)

You gave voice to the anguish many feel. Great to be able to evoke such emotions in a short write--thanks to the form you invented.
