The Internal Vice

The clouded spectrum of my ambition
Leads me to my shrouded past
An enemy engraved in my foreseeable truth
Haunting the memory of self-deprecation
I long for the abstract freedom of my youth
But instead I face the familiar wall
I pray unto thee to grant me vision
Or thus this troubled soul shall remain still
