It's Not Easy
/I was looking for a cure
A cure for loneliness
Tried movies, music and masturbation
Like drugs
Their effects soon waned
Leaving me with a strong urge
To return to old friends
And acquaintances that won't help
Me evolve
As I stood at the crossroads
Of evolution or repetition
I chose to evolve
I will stay in here
And let the pain of loneliness
Burn
While I use the flames
As light to get to work
On the new me
Looking forward to looking back
With tearful eyes some day
At a work in progress
Pausing to celebrate the long process
Of saying goodbye to the old me
