L-ike nymphs kept inside of that transparent haven,
I- , too am struggling for having been kept for long.
F-or they see me happy, as if I'm not sicken,
E-ntourage's just gloom, I always feel so wrong.
I-n the game, "hide and seek", they would not look for me,
N-one would even falter, I'm not part of their song.
A- simple "me" is plain, an ash in the ashtray,
N-igritude's my buddy, fulfilled with a sad "bong".
A-h! I forgot something, I was a clown for thee,
Q-ueen of great pretenders, an actress of all times.
U-mpires telling me to look at you with much glee,
A-gain, this' so not me; such a poem with forced rhymes!
R-eal me wants to go out, I'm a nymph that get drown,
I-n aquaria of life, when melancholy sucks.
U-nderwater I sank, I thought I'll get the crown,
M-eal I am for despair, a plywood for thumbtacks!
