Circle of Despair

by AJT - Leo

A residential evil
A melodramatic pain
Harbors deep within me tonight
And only I am to blame

Life could have brought me pleasure
Life could have brought me fame
Life could have brought me unity
Yet life choose to bring me pain

I am stuck in a tunnel of perfection
That no one else can perceive
I am hindered by prominence
Caused by both them and me

Pleasure is but a moment
As perseverance ends the fame
Unity I have no feelings of
With love merely a name 

The end is filled with melancholy 
My life but a struggle with time
Never will I be greater than the average
Therefore pain is healed with lies
