Each time tried resurfacing

in a new vortex got caught

 

Adding on presented misery

to existing scene distraught

 

Tired of repetitive challenges

testing every bit of strength

 

Wonder extent of all trials

and of tribulation’s length

 

Little placidity is yearned for

the current struggle to end

 

With a little let up in effort

as respite in ongoing trend

 

Nastiest of any situation

eventually gets to abate

 

Perseverance lone resolve

coping with ubiquitous fate
