head hanging, a sullen look on my face
begging time, my pain I yearn to erase
lost in thought, to lost to live
head resting in hand, nothing left to give
eyes closed, shut to the world
another tear, my life unfurled
frustration tearing me from within
I cannot hear above the din
life, drowning out my mind
solace, peace I'm begging to find
I wish to scream, to raise my voice
but again I seem to sink, perhaps I have no choice

Thanks for sharing!
God bless!
Here is another way we might look at unfortunate circumstances.

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,
    Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
    For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
    I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
    My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
    Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
    Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
    How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
    I am the captain of my soul.

— William Ernest Henley (1849-1903)

I loved both. Thanks for sharing!

Poetry is love and love is life.
