Writer's Cramp 2/8

Nine square

Sad, but it's true, I've lost the fight, I'm-
Uncertain, overwhelmed, insecure,
And feeling so fragile, hurts inside;

But tell me, what more can I do? I'm-
Quivering, uncertain, despairing,
I've given up, losing's not ri-ght;

I feel so down, lost my best friend, I'm-
Devastated, unravelled, heartbroken,
You're leaving, the future's not bri-ght.

I'm stretching the requirements ▶︎

A ninesquare has nine lines, each of nine syllables, divided into three three-line stanzas.

* The first line of each stanza must contain nine monosyllables.
* The second line must contain three words of three syllables each.
* The third line must have a one-two, one-two, one-two syllablic structure.

slightly with ri-ght and bri-ght (but I still have my lyricist hat on, and that works musically!)
