<p>As night draws on<br>I get embittered,<br>“Nothing has been achieved”.<br>As morning draws on<br>I hope night will never give way,<br>“Each day is like yesterday”.</p>
<p>As I try to be idle,<br>I get scared,<br>“Nothingness and emptiness is what it breeds”.<br>As I try to get busy,<br>I get discouraged,<br>“It may end how it has always ended”.</p>
<p>As I try to keep to myself,<br>I keep travelling to wonderland,<br>And from there to slumber land.<br>As I try to interact with people,<br>What I see in most makes me sad<br>And nearly makes me mad.</p>
<p>As I try to be kind to people,<br>I start nursing double mind,<br>“It may never be appreciated”.<br>As I try to be wicked,<br>I get mad at myself,<br>“Why try to ruin myself.”</p>
<p>As I try to take life by its horns,<br>I wonder if my attempt is of any use<br>When life itself seems of no use;<br>I always rebuke myself,<br>Whenever I wish I’m dead,<br>I say “such are the thoughts of cowards.”</p>
