recovery looks like eating burnt toast
with butter and salt
it looks like taking a bath in your clothes
then showering after
it looks like showing up perfectly on time
just to leave early
simply because it feels okay
recovery is strange
it's an attempt made
and attempt failed
and another one to fix it
it's pretending there's nothing to recover from
then falling exhausted against the couch
paralyzed from burnout, motivated by hate
recovery is like using your favorite mug
as a glass of water
it's an attempt made
a strange one
but it simply feels okay
surely that's enough
