Blockaded from my conquests of the flesh
Dead-ended to my passionless endeavors
I wish not to delve into depth
But, to get my feet wet
Initiate me to be

Frustrated by time and time again
I never had a lover, nor a friend
Lacking a moral compass
I try to maintain common sense, nonetheless

The clock taunts
Negative thoughts haunt
Between drivel I am caught
These feelings too grave to be fought

Trumpets of doom begin to blow
A cringeworthy serenade
Life moving along so slow
I depart from this masquerade

Inflexible to my desires
Taking cover
Inflexible to my dreams
Evacuate
Inflexible to life
For life I abominate
