I am destined to face doom,
The reason is to me unknown,
In my heart, only agonies bloom,
Defeats alone in life I ever own,
If continues unabated this gloom,
For His cruelty, God will atone,
Never have I received any favor,
Ever I live with severe worry-fever,
Cover I get not though a believer,
Why am I strangely singled out,
To be punished so cruelly?
Often arises this doubt,
To question the Lord morally,
If God helps not in the living-bout,
I will soon become insane really ?
