Pouring my all
Into a thankless abyss
I waver sickly
Ailing at the merciless purge

Clouded Jubilation
Haunts my awakening
Peppering each morn
With frantic thoughts

Fearful yearning
Is done so masterfully
Urging to be uprooted
From the clutches of a hopeless lot

To be plucked away
From the soils of weariness
Where droves meander
Perplexed and unsure

Where I drain my all
Into a thankless groan
Circling back
Each sanity deprived dawn
