I am down in the dumps,

I want to cry my heart out but I see no one,

I roam about like a ghost, Nowhere to settle.

All I see is darkness,

I have lost my company,

They all avoid me like a plague,

I did no wrong, yet they spite me,

I am now a burden.

My limbs now fail me,

The sounds of birds and the waters now scare me,

My eyes ache at the sight of light,

I now am motionless.

I have no offspring to save my name,

My mind fails me,

I see my time coming,

The hour is here, yet no one to turn to,

I cannot stop the clock from ticking neither can I take it back,

Fate has caught up with me.
