NADIR
NADIR
I never thought it got as bad as this
But surprise surprise, it really has now
Who would guess being hit when down
Like the last moment before you drown
It has all gone awry, I don’t know how
If only I could give this moment a miss
It is truly the nadir of my life to date
Will nothing good now ever survive
All can now see that I’ve fallen apart
And may even die of a broken heart
As yet more bad luck may still arrive
All I can do is patiently sit and wait
There were times when I was at the top
The zenith some call it, being up there
I looked down but never really thought
That I would hit bad times of any sort
I’ll find a way to pay it all back, I swear
Please make this wretched sadness stop
