Misfortune

I am the vile of the mind

I am the only of my kind

I am the murk in the sky

I am the fear in your eye

I am the gloom in silence

I am the barb of the fence

I am the tear that went dry

I tend to smirk when you cry

I am the thought that holds you back

I am the beauty that you lack

I am the stillness of the night

I am a dreamer by daylight

I am a song sung out of tune

I am my only misfortune …
