I think I am cured but still
not assured that yesterday won't get in the way
and mark my cards,
like it did back in the day.

This programme I'm on,
12 million steps long and all
uphill,
will either **** me or make me,
break me or take me beyond where
I was.
I do it because it is there and it only seems fair
I should start paying my dues,
after all
what can I lose but my
life.
