This is my first and only attempt at a villanelle. Be nice!
If I was on an even keel,
My hands have been bound,
To God I would kneel.
This broken heart will heal,
World would stop spinning 'round
If I was on an even keel.
If I could only feel,
I have gone to ground,
To God I would kneel.
Would you stoop to steal?
Must I always make this sound?
If I was on an even keel.
I've gotten a raw deal,
Bandage this bloody wound,
To God I would kneel.
From this blow I reel,
Gift to me from a hound,
If I was on an even keel
To God I would kneel.
