Lost In Sin

O role model, O lover of my health, 
Listener to my ambitions, 
Help me in my despair and fear, 
Or else stave the complications. 

The door was open, though it be closed, 
And i was energetic with gape, 
Intense on learning in acceptance, 
The structure and the tape. 

Regretting the bet I’d originally had, 
With myself, for that insular existence, 
I did exit that lift in which i sat, 
Adrift in speciality’s persistence. 

It was a neat defeat, but i did steer, 
My ship away from danger, 
And my companion did redirect, 
My ambition and my anger. 

I lit my light anew, and it did blaze, 
For my desires had now been said, 
Such that critics avoided an eclipse, 
With my dreams on view and read.
