Unfettered Pessimism
by @rdlinder
Lyrics
I sit here in desperation Soaked in my own perspiration Waiting for some inspiration Only finding hesitation
Be it time to claim me famous Only finding that it's shameless I cannot be held as blameless I continue to be nameless
Seeking what I do not deserve Hoping to avoid a sore nerve Cannot face the upcoming curve If there was something to preserve
Words they fail me by the moment Feet are dragging as in cement I am finding time is misspent It can only conjure torment
Try to find me something happy Only finding something crappy Wished it was a bit more snappy Make my foot go tippy-tappy
In the end expect a downfall Don't reach out to find a cure-all Always end behind the eight ball Only outcome is to stonewall
Pessimism indeed. Sounds like the 2:30 am sleeplessness horrors as every fault parades across the mind giving one finger salutes. Congrats on the effective single rhyme per stanza. That's a hard trick to pull off but you've done it!
