I sold my soul / to the daily grind

The Great American Delusion,

plague of truth:


apparent, finally,

after seven years,


thank God.


I sold my soul

to the daily grind


in exchange

for false purpose,

for a path,

for an empty future.


Tears

and days

and ulcers later,


I admit defeat,

submit to heart,


and travel

by the light

of my soul,

reclaimed.
