My intentions were once benevolent

Doing good all the time

Now I'm just malevolent

And it's hard to rhyme


I used to flow like river water

Now bitter as a lime

Bottom of the teeter totter

And it's hard to rhyme


The angels' wings I have torn

As silent is to mime

Good feeling is now worn

And it's hard to rhyme


It's like my words are claustrophobic

No longer does my voice chime

All because I'm autophobic

Goddamn it's hard to rhyme


I will always keep my silence

As far as I may climb

Quiet is my essence

Why is it hard to rhyme?


This all has lost meaning

Now just grit and grime

Didn't know it needed cleaning

At last the final rhyme
