#myopia
the voyage of innumerable miles furnished strength, of a thousand sails guiding each yonder the reach off to a boundless expanse of the new tomorrow in countenance with arms outstretched to tolerate contentment to acclimate to the average and want for far less smiling

Journeyman
The crunching sound of glass under the sole of my shoe. The gentle bend as the metal frames twisted unrecognisably. Fragments littering the cement around me. For what purpose did I need them. Walking away. Dread and edrenaline mix together. Jumping at my own shadow. Yet no longer having to look at the world. No longer having to see it. But still stuck inside it. Standing behind the retina. Behind the same distorted lenses. Shame. Longing. Blind. Lost.

Myopia
In a land where convenience furthers Not perseverance, and 'ignorance is bliss', Is amiss, as it's far more than "Godliness", It being, "All", and n'er is perceived, The universe of a grain of sand, as it, Like love, grasped, Just falls from their hand, Even the hollow of belief Is an unattainable goal, For the path less traveled Is more travailed, n'er sold. In their opine, Their best, "skol". reality

But the steps seem to travel further Wuthering winds blow dust over them and my vision becomes blurry I'll lose sight of them soon If I don't hurry. Myopia is so commonplace Commenting on its existence seems silly to me But I'm a slave to my glasses Without them, I can't really see.

Myopia
It is suffocating to have to see the world through a glass through a glass

Myopia
She glories in how projected her butts are but forgets how minute her brain works. The length of her fingers and nails gives her confidence but she doesn't see how short her life is. She gallops from door to door wherever wealthy men dwell but never bothered to get the the key to the door leading to the life after here. She pities the churchy lady for not catching fun, but deep down her, she has no joy herself. The fragrance of her perfume still could not conceal the odour her character produces. She is wise at getting all she can now but never thinks of securing the future after life here. Her elegant physique and graceful skin is her choice asset. Walking with straight neck and wobbling **** to lure her preys, she forgets the day she would need a walking stick. She indeed is myopic in her thoughts. She flouts the morals of her society just to please herself. She constructs a world she can't sustain. Like a missionary sepulchre, her outward beauty glows but within her are the wiles the wisest of men can't resist. She trades her  beauty for pennies. She's a **********
