My will has been broken
My spirit devoid
Helpless and unhoping
I can not avoid
Another disappointment
This day has brought
Leaving me overwhelmingly distraught.
Will this feeling ever cease?
Can I ever have peace?
They say, “Only time will tell”
But for now I just want to yell
Please ascend me from
This Draconian Hell.
