Inferno

Tiresome trivial circumstances 
Never ending failures 
On far off decided chances
Treat life as a purgatory

When will favors be sent my way
An opportunity
An immeasurable means
Out of this deteriorating abyss

This perdition of myself
Condemnation of body, mind, life
Endless abandonment
No savior in line of sight

Tramples hopes and expectations
Knowingly participating 
In a life of agonizing suffering
No future for everlasting nirvana
