Despair

I lay here in despair,
wondering what in life is fair,
Thinking to myself, “Why do I care?”,
Feeling miserable and wanting to meet a hungry bear,
with his powerful muscles and jaws, my flesh he would tear,
And take me back home to its young, to its lair,
They would eat me like I a pear,
My bones would crunch and I would swear,
Swinging their claws, my bruised body is what they’d snare,
wondering what in life is fair?
Thinking to myself, “Shortly, I won’t have to care.”
