The first of my namless poems.

It's a nameless poem because I can't name it. Yes I did take the first two lines from "Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner" But I'm using mine in a metaphorical sense as he used his in the literal. Furthermore I wasn't aware of that poem when I made those lines and the context is different, so it's not plagiarism. So enough of my yap here it is:
Water Water everywhere,
But not a drop for me.
I took a drop and here I am,
Seething in misery.
Opposed in turn by everyone,
Who took a drop from thee.
Happiness did beseech them,
And rise them from the sea.
O yes, how I did see them,
How the air did fill with glee.
And then, of course, I realized,
That,
This life's just not for me.
Water Water everywhere,
But not a drop for me.
I took a drop and here I am,
Seething in misery.
Opposed in turn by everyone,
Who took a drop from thee.
Happiness did beseech them,
And rise them from the sea.
O yes, how I did see them,
How the air did fill with glee.
And then, of course, I realized,
That,
This life's just not for me.
