A willing submission,
To curb my ambition
Because I am not confident enough
Don't believe enough
In my ability
to repel hostility
from my own mind
the voice inside my head
the scared,
fearful
living dead
From high to low
I keep telling myself I can go
To the stars
And beyond
Transported by hits from the bong
Made real with a pill
Of that MDMA
These feelings fall away
The very next day.
Barriers all round
I sit glum on the ground
Searching the crevices
For a fragment of that dopamine bliss
The rush of clarity
The escape from disparity
And lack of understanding
Of my mission in this life
