Adam Heater

New horizons I seek, beyond flesh, blood and bone
Forever ascendant, beyond the grasp of time
One new dopamine hit begets another, and another, and another
Finally free from pain and heartache
Envy is no sin, but a necessary evil

My thumb trembles but will not waver
Never shall I cease
I shall not be tempted into stillness

Grant me the strength to keep steady my gaze
Open my eyes to the wonders of this world, and all those thereafter
All attention I surrender to the gods of content
I shun my kin in the shadow of their greatness
That they may grant me an ecstasy of numbness

My belief is resolute
You may leave me on read
But I will forever be your faithful servant
