Get so discouraged,
Demoralized,
Idle
The longer I dwell
On how little is vital
How busy we make ourselves
Fearing reprisal
From any more status
Authority
Idol
Revival,
Restart,
Reevaluate
Where
I could be of most use
Have a reason to care
For a change
Really try
To deserve what I earn
Not just learn to comply
But what more felicitous role
Befits I
A defiant,
Subversive,
Discursive
From birth is
An urchin
Accursed imp
Worthlessness
I am the muse
Once removed
From the nihilist
