Original Poetry Fan Fiction ❯ The Profound Sadness ❯ One-Shot

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Oh, woe is me, so terrible woe

It's as terrible as can be

There've been tragedies and ruined lives

But mine's the worst there can be

This isn't right, my lot in life

This isn't just, this isn't fair

My life has been unending pain

It hurts to even breathe the air

They say I should see the bright side

But no such thing exists

I sometimes try to improve my life

But the universe always resists

They all say I need help

There's a fault in my brain wiring

But they don't realize I know the truth

That they're all just conspiring

They say I need perspective

Things aren't as bad as they could be

But I know for an absolute fact

No one in history's been as sad as me

So I cry myself to sleep, like I do every night

Though in truth I do it all the time

It's funny, everything seems more profound

When it's written to rhyme
