Do you want to feel the pain now,
in the form of overworked muscles and an overtaxed mind? Or...
would you rather feel the pain later in the form of regret?

Be in control of it.
Do not let it control you;
and, by it
I mean your mindset.

Shame always seems to shower.
The onset is hardly ever subtle.

do so by trying new things,
not by making the same
one over and over again.

Conflict is meant to be overcome;
it is not meant to rule for too long,
if at all...

Find the moments where time collapses.
Find the places you have to trek outside of your head to get to.

I am shallow.
I am human, and something wicked swims
--close, like a shark-- underneath,
rippling my skin.  Be sharp, & you might see its fin.
I am dark, & some parts,
although locked, are still quite wretched
& can wreak havoc on the present.
