exercise to sweat all the toxins out
blow the ashes of hatred
(whothefuckami) thoughts
in a sizzle that evaporates
through sweat (sweat)
repeat it all
and never give up
but the pain (never give up!)
i can’t stop (never give up!)
i can’t sleep (never give up!)
i can’t control myself (never give up!)
sit down
nothing is relieved in the sound of stillness
there
forever immersed in buzz, propelling forward
towards random things unfulfilling
dear child,
reverie marries faith through peaceful action
without fear of condemnation
not seeking attention
and when you realise that,
give up
