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
