Nicotine

Problems are rampant;
Nothing is going as planned -
My plan.
Left is right, up is down
Stomach churning,
Palms sweating.
Inhale.
But for the few moments,
Moments of euphoria -
I'm free from the chains of the world
Exhale.
For these few moments,
Everything seems alright.
Inhale.
For these few moments,
I'm the master of my life.
Exhale.
For these few moments,
I'm alive.
I feel alive.
Life flows within me.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Everything is going to be alright after all;
At least for these few moments.

The skies, as with the sea; the galaxy: so vast.
I have it all, all to me.
I am the world, the world is me;
Endless and limitless.
Out there for us, you and I,
Only shame is
There's no one to explore it with -
Well at least, for me.
