The City Lights Disguise the Guise of Well Being

I became weak from lack of exposure. It's not killing me now, I found closure. A coffee stained T-shirt, I'm empty inside. I found smoke in my lungs, but no fire in my heart. There are things to be found that I cannot find. I wonder frantically, but where do I start? I wish I could see, though I must be blind to all that is divine. What I want eludes me. Confusion constricts and binds me like Ivy. The twisted vines, they confine and declined all my descending tries and tire my motivation to free my mind. To discover the secrets of being aptly content. To discover what was aptly meant and not to resent yesterday, or all the tomorrows that are subsequent. I ignore all the lies as they are insolent, And now for my future, I shall admit all my sins and repent.
