It comes bearing down on me

The reality of futility

All the effort for not

Alone and forgot

Family and friends seem to scatter

At the mere sight of me

Burden and poverty

No time for my travesty

Not that I don't try

Black hole of energy surrounds me

As if I'm doomed to repeat every day in misery

Never been able to support myself

My loneliness continues to persist

Inevitable I cease to exist

At least my funeral will be the last they see of me
