What was Frodo thinking as he sunk under the burden of the one ring I'm slipping into the twilight world of shadows sombre grey No more a world of sunlight Or of birdsong summer days Legs weary, sore, I struggle 'neath the weight But I still must struggle on To reach the Morgul gate In my small hands I hold the future of mankind For them and for their freedom I now must be prepared to die Why me? Why me? Why was I the chosen one? But I must think not of the past But of a new life not yet born

**Words Tolkien Never Wrote**
What was Frodo thinking as he sunk under the burden of the one ring I'm slipping into the twilight world of shadows sombre grey No more a world of sunlight Or of birdsong summer days Legs weary, sore, I struggle 'neath the weight But I still must struggle on To reach the Morgul gate In my small hands I hold the future of mankind For them and for their freedom I now must be prepared to die Why me? Why me? Why was I the chosen one? But I must think not of the past But of a new life not yet born
Obviously I would never try to compare myself to the greatness of Tolkien but in my wild imagination I tried to place myself in the mind of Frodo
