I Am Disappointed
I was given the chance
I pushed it away
With one glance
T'was offered into my mouth
I spit it out
As if out of disgust
But really, just out of doubt
I imagine that moment again
It seemed worth nothing at the time
But now is worth a billion yen
Worth the difference between
Life and death in a den
This emotion
Comes when things seem so good
When it seems I have found joy, truth
Attacks when least expected
But I write of it so that it's power is lessened
I am disappointed
