"...When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life." -John Lennon

City lights
Glittering
like lost souls
Racing
Neckandneck
tied for first but
heaven’s too far
and hell
is too
hot

No wonder
and no fame
They are undecorated
unchanged
untouched and
Untouchable.

We all
strive for perfection
Unattainable
just try to stay afloat because
it is the
Only way

You drown and
You lose and
Welcome to limbo.
