Aphelion

The darkest hour has come,
You cannot see the light,
You’ve been working days on end,
But you just can’t get it right

It’s taking longer than expected,
And more problems will arise,
Nothing at all is working,
Murphy's law applies

You yell in frustration,
You run, you hide, you shout,
You never imagined this in the beginning,
Back then there was no doubt

Sadness descends slowly,
Things are getting tough,
Maybe you wouldn’t have started,
If you knew it would be this rough

You search for something more,
Yet there is nothing that you lack,
You’ve hit the aphelion,
There’s no point in turning back.
