Dripping Failures

Dismissed from singing with Admirable voices It's a gloomy morning... My distraught spirit Sinks downward Dripping failures drown My music box - My heart No longer thumps with triumph, Excitement, Joyousness, Delight... My spirit can't reach heaven's height! The High School Choir - Crowded with Cheerful students, Releasing their Positive mindsets It upsets My own soul... And I envy their Happy-go-lucky voices They don't understand Oh no... They'll never know Spewing out fascinating noises Invigorating noises... Amazing, mature voices Reaches my fatigued ears... They don't taste My revolting fears... They'll never see The tears streaming down My grimy face They're too busy... Running the race Competing for praise and grace Seeking the award... while I jump off board... They don't care if I die Oh no! No one cares to save me From the waters that push me... Drown me... tug me... drag me... To and fro... My sadness grows And the wicked wind blows As I helplessly drift away Like the sunset murdering the day Like the sunset greeting the night As I plead...TAKE IT ALL AWAY! TAKE ALL OF MY DISMAY... I'd rather not deal with it today... Or tomorrow... That would bring in sorrow

Did it really feel like this? I know the feeling, but this was a desperately penned poem--emotive, but talented
