Benumbed

I’ve become benumbed,

I’m underfunded,

the fun’s no fun,

I’m drawn and quartered,

symmetrically sundered

between Heaven and Earth.

I’ve lost all my mirth,

my birthright broken,

my verse unspoken,

my fate bespoke.

It’s all my fault

my faulty premise,

will see my demise.

Once I believed that I was wise,

but I was wrong,

once I was strong,

but I was wrong,

it can all be summed up

in just one word,

I’ve become benumbed.
