Wallow in thy self-begotten woe.
You've earned it; you've wrought it upon thyself.

Bask in thy self-inflicted confusion.
You've earned it; you've brought it upon thyself.

Cringe in thy self-loathing angst.
You've earned it; you've sought it of thyself.

Pessimist? Maybe,
but I've had my fill
of swearing by
Benefit of the Doubt.
