Oh horror! Oh sorrow! Oh weight of burdens born Humiliation of defeat The soul is shred and torn A ripping of the heart strings A wrenching of the brain A cataclysmic vertigo Of unrelenting shame The drenching waves of cold, wet guilt Give pain I cannot bide The hailstones of ambiguity Pound 'gainst my skull inside What tragedy has brought me here What bleakness is my fate For I came to seek redemption But I arrive too late.
Reason for writing:
I write all of my bleakest poems in math class. This one was a particularly dreadful day in geometry.
