I cannot face life
for it perpetually strangles me
until I turn a horrid shade of blue
sending me into a deep melancholia
that I never can shake off
swiftly enough.
oh, the time I have lost!
time I have been robbed of
by the one enemy I will
never fight face to face
for it dwells in my body
just like a parasite
feeding off of my despair
until that dreadful day where
there will be
nothing left.
