beat it

no one knows

you better

than i do.

so get back up—

start again.

don’t you dare

go down,

don’t disappear,

don’t vanish

into thin air.

you spent your life

wallowing, drowning,

instead of swimming—

you chose

to sink.

so just beat it.

beat it.

to make it out alive,

you do what you can.

so beat it.

obstacles are gifts,

challenges in disguise.

one second. two.

count to ten.

time is valuable.

it doesn’t matter

how long it takes—

just beat it.
