This, too, shall pass

 Row on concrete

 

1.I am so sad

It occurred to me,

Not even world peace

Could make me happy.

 

2.So sad

To take hit after hit after hit

And not to taste blood,

But flavor of defeat.

 

3.So sad

It’s not even sadness anymore,

But a lifelessness

Pinning me to the floor.

 

4.So sad

I am not scared of nuclear waste,

But to wake up and

Feel alone and misplaced.

 

5.So sad

When I’m sick they tell me I pretend,

I envy the ones

Whose sickness knows an end.

 

6.So sad

I did all to evolve and compete,

No matter the sweat

I still row on concrete.
