Limitation

I came into my own
Signs and premonitions
But there are
only question marks

Learn my lesson
And did my level best
But to bury the last chances
Was not my considered choice

I met with my deserts
Somehow
Issue of fact
I made a rod for my own back
Or is it a life mission?

Nightly reflections
And workaday pains
Sullen limitations
Just to bear a load

Inspired by the distress
How much time for us
A second or long decade
A foregone conclusion

Learn my lesson
And did my level best
But to bury the last chances
Was not my considered choice
