Depression, or Sysiphus
by krstaten
It’s one long game of chess I never win:
When all my pawns are gone, I start anew.
Each time I play the same first move again–
it’s one long game of chess I never win.
Despite the same mistakes, I still begin
the game in hopes this time I’ll follow through.
It’s one long game of chess I never win.
When all my pawns are gone I start anew.

Based on the prompt in this post.
I read the title and thought, “Yes, that’s perfect!” Nicely written triolet, too. 💜
