Walking through darkness,
You know it is hopeless,
No power to harness,
Another lost day.

Avoiding the glances,
You join their dances,
Elusive the chances,
Jump into the fray.

Trying to follow,
You just feel hollow,
Creeping in sorrow,
Attempt to evade.

Watching dreams cracking,
You've always been lacking,
The odds are still stacking
Against change of fate.

Holding no aces,
You lost all your races,
Blank are their faces,
Unyielding the wall.

Seeking salvation,
You solve the equation,
No greater temptation
Than ending it all.
