how do you tell
yourself — not to give up?
how do you tell
yourself — to expose
closed heart?
how do you tell
yourself — to constantly
forge faith in everything
you are — regardless
of how horrible
you may
genuinely
feel
search your
cerebellum
for your personal
cerebral spree
a place
where you can find
twenty-four hour
bright neon lights
beckoning
you to stay
and shop inside
of a mind
with the potential
to simultaneously
be magnificent
and disparaged
