Colorful words of lonely despair,
Followed by a blank stare,
Saddled with my own distress,
Because my life has become a mess,
I just can’t seem to get it right,
No matter how hard I try to fight,
I have become a big disgrace,
Now that my life has been displaced,
Watched my dreams go up in smoke,
Suffered more than anyone knows,
I let everyone down that I meet,
But what’s worse is that I let down me.
