you seem to expect solace to be the product of all the lies you tell yourself. you expect it to be comforting, and for others to let it remain unacknowledged, as if it were a harmless trait.
you expect too much from instances that clearly display no potential reward.
you expect to find your path, wandering in the midst of darkness, whilst being too indolent to simply turn on the lights in the room.
