Discontent
 
This is the year
Of my discontent.
Just what
Has that phrase meant?
Am I not contented
With my existence?
Have I chosen the road
Of least resistance?
I don't think this word
Applies to me
Although I've used it
In this potpourri
I try to face dilemmas head-on
Try to resolve issues that press.
Still, sometimes I'm at odds,
Stymied in distress.
Awww, there's the rub,
There's the discontent.
I'm beginning to understand
Just what the phrase meant.
