I've got a weary smile that never sees the light of day/
Head hot cynic sick of cyclical sorrow following no matter which way/
I get pulled into my head my head at night like an innocent man to prison/
No matter how hard I kick, punch, scream or fight it there's I know there's no winning/
Lost in my inner thoughts like a labyrinth I scramble for a reason not to sin/
To no avail my whole being is being strung thin, my soul is tried, my heart heavy please don't tell the kin/
Hollow vices the Crown Apple of my eye/
But death isn't the answer to all the questions in life/
My greatest dismay is being lost to normalcy, I've been voluntary persona non grata post epiphany/
The concept is vague, the creation is lackluster, the exhibition is dispiriting/
Conscience stricken plebeians vying for acceptance of a dying disposition/
Archaic allegories recycled, pedantic peers entranced by theories of validity/
Endless coteries of mindlessly mannered civilians creating concoctions comparable only to coequal cowards hoping to win/
Entrapped in this lackadaisical lifestyle, eons of evolving enlightenment put to a halt/
Ignorantly place the blame, the universe is at fault/
Knowing the damage was dealt it carelessly crept back/
If you want peace then you better prepare for war, ready the attack/

Love the Latin title and your written therapy. Welcome!
Believe it or not the title was the hardest part. I can't thank you enough for the comment though!
Oh, I believe it. Titles can be hard. Sometimes though, I have the title before the poem. I'm strange, whatevs.
This is actually the first poem I've written with a title, figured a cherry on top of whatever that poem is is well deserved
Always title your poems, otherwise they are orphans. Exceptional title here. Especially with your last verse and all.
My hectic process of thinking prevents me from finishing most poems let alone titling them
Great poem. I understand your struggle, and I hope you can pull free from it.
