Woe is me
From happiness I doth flee
Time races past
I’m a ship without a mast
The days are dark and filled with pain
Will I ever be sane
Days turn into years
Who can erase my fears
I cling to hope and pray
Of a future happy day
For now I’ll bide my time
And dream of green hills I may climb
With no strength or energy
I’m a prisoner of my own body
I’ll retreat into my mind
What wonders I will find
Traveling the universe faster than light
I’ll return in a fortnight
If you care pray for me
Of a day when I’m happy and fancy free
