Going with the flow

Sorrow, distress, agony wrecking me all the while
Anguishing heart has blotted my smile
Sucked into the world so full of guile
Transformed into a wretched senile 

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Wilfully swallowed by the hungry tide
It's indeed a joyous ride
At least I don't need to take a side

Perfect timing, I aptly withdrew 
No scope really now of running askew
A story so flawless, yet known to a scanty few
I wish someday the rest of the world knew
