My Life Experience

I've been betrayed, dismayed, debased, detained,
Unsettled, disenfranchised, wasted, stressed,
Distressed, hexed, vexed, impeached, depressed, repressed,
Traduced, rebuked, refused, confused, disdained,
Abashed, arraigned, pained, stained, restrained, constrained,
Embarrassed, left behind, wrongly confessed,
Debauched, defrocked, mocked, rocked, condemned unblessed,
Scoped, scooped, scraped, scrapped, encircled, and enchained.

My life experience is deeply fraught
With undermining hammer blows, weak bones,
And bad songs built up on the semitones
Between good notes. I was largely untaught,
And hoped a smile would swamp the shallow thought
Of passion's victory. I've eaten stones.
