Untitled
The brain damages the body during the day
The body repairs itself at night
Abstaining from sleep is just another form of self-destruction
Not taking responsibility for my body, only my actions
Only taking responsibility for the things I have said or not said day in and day out
Done or not done
Always moving forward, neck twisting towards the past
I cannot accept that yesterday and tomorrow are two separate entities
Cannot accept that the fear instilled in both does not bind them
Sameness is hard to come by
Even in repetition, I do not find consistency
Trying to make sense of everything wears on the mind
The mind wears on the body
Balance is all I can hope for
