Plead

You expected things to be great, grand, not grandiose.
And now what?
Nothing - pitiful amounts of nothing.
Hear me for one moment, just one tiny meaningless moment.
I'm begging, you're saying I've lost all pride.
But do I care?
Of course that doesn't matter.
I'm beaten.
Our life is a shallow puddle and you want me to think I'm the only one drowning in it
