middle-aged lamentation (villanelle)
I thought I knew the way
But it was not the case
I felt lost the whole day
Looking out the window in dismay
Trapped in my head-space
I thought I knew the way
Clasping hands, pretending to pray
Slapping my own ugly face
I felt lost the whole day
Accused of acting overly gay
Just trying to keep pace
I thought I knew the way
Is there anything left to say
I have abandoned the race
I felt lost the whole day
Perhaps things will get better in May
Fleeting hope, there is a trace
I thought I knew the way
I felt lost the whole day
