Complexity

 

Feeling blue and lonely,

for positivity I’ve doubts

 

Long has been torment

 with endless sort bouts

 

Undoing other’s tangles

accidently I got caught

 

Intricately opposing to,

how I would’ve thought  

 

Unknown with intent wily

I still can face and fend

 

Familiar I can’t decipher

with their density contend  

 

If success was a hallmark,

I don’t think am near close

 

Had enough of umbrage

and nasty streak as dose

 

Tight rope thought likely

 had balance gone  awry

 

Unable to please all sundry

had me left high and dry 

 

All envisaged at the outset,

how in contrast got dished

 

Must accept as turn of fate,

on none I could’ve wished
