Impress Me

The ache, the pain
Ne'er dragon slain.
No damsel to be distressed.

No claim to fame,
No penny to my name,
I feel so damn depressed.

What I am, I am.
There is no sham.
You take me as I'm dressed.

I did the time,
But, not the crime,
To this I have professed.

I tell you true,
My time is due.
For once I have egressed.

The confining wall,
and echoing halls,
Along them I've progressed.

The time spent here,
Was spent with care.
To you I have confessed.

I'll stake no claim,
I'll polish my name,
And when I am well dressed.

I'll say it loud,
And say it proud.
I am not IMPRESSED.
