It was my duty and that's why I came,
Yet something I didn't do put me to shame.
I didn't destroy it, though it wasn't mine to claim,
But I tried despite that it was not for fame.
I did not meet Elrond's expectation,
And though they gave a happy proclamation,
I did not feel content from the stimulation,
That sent me through that ghastly simulation.
At Mount Doom I could not cast,
The One Ring, to destroy it's sinister past,
And though now Gollum did it, I could hardly last,
The agony of losing, and of breaking down fast.
