Swallow everything
Your pride, your pain,
your dad's favorite dinner,
even though
you hate it.
Touch everything
Desperation, it's lovely,
the most beautiful things,
so simple,
go so far.
Reach everything
Your pets, your dreams,
the cord that turns on the light,
even though
it's so dark.
Stop hurting
Your rivals, your friends,
and every once in a while,
remember
yourself, too.
