Outstanding Disappointment
I have known perdition.
I have known disgust.
I have known sedition. I have known distrust.
I have known divergence.
I have known intent.
I have known emergence. I have known dissent.
I have known betrayal.
I have known conceit.
I have known defrayal. I have known defeat.
I have known depression.
I have known bad luck.
I have known oppression. I have known dung muck.
I have known displeasure.
I have known regret.
I have known false treasure. I have known bad debt.
I have known grim lament.
I have known mood blue.
My chief disappointment I have known in you.
