Yearn

"Every age yearns for a more beautiful world. The deeper the desperation and the depression about the confusing present, the more intense that yearning."
                              -  Johan Huizinga

Within these white walls of wellness and weakness
lie labyrinths of life changing lies 
Needless needles nip like nuisance nettles
Scary scans scrupulously scrutinize 
Doctors dressed in drab garbs declare dreadful news
making moody me feel all the more miserable
Circumstances circle with cyst-like certainty
Persistent problems promote psychological pandemonium
Yearnings of yesterday yell and yammer for youthfulness
Lost in listlessness, I lament in laboured longing
