Down in the Dumps

“It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to…”
Lesley Gore’s hit song from her album of the same name, 1963.

Yes, you may complain and that’s your right,
but it’s my party and I'm drained of fight,
since my house has been lost in a sinkhole,
I’ve been trying to have fun in a bowl.

And now you understand the reason I grieve;
we’ll have to climb if ever to leave,
which is why I cannot be so bright -
I am trapped by my fear of heights.
