one quick breath
diving headfirst into a pool of imagined chlorine
sinuses ache and burn
one more hit, one more time
stop the thinking and start the drinking
drown the pain in whatever way you can
fist fights and broken bones make you more of a man
***** your morals, thoughts, and inhibitions
forget what matters and focus on sprinting
throw up those blinders and pick your point
for tonight your free and finally your own person
