Distress stretches apart the neurons in my brain transmitting impulses
in the right frame of mind, I brace myself to face my apprehensiveness
sinews flex as tendons attach muscle to bone, cords of fibrous tissue
terror causes sorrow, anxiety, pain...saps my strength like an illness
reduces and erodes vim and vigor, horse piss I smell as I run past
energy requires miles, endurance, grit, resolve and determination
stride forward, side to side, in reverse but always one step before the next
struggle with past trauma, bullying and teasing, abuse and violence
Resist the urge to fight back against oppressors, they act out of distress
engage in sympathy, understanding the self in relation to pain
subjects once subjected to inviolable rules once violated
inform the world of grief, agony, turbulence...get a gat in the face
suffer the little birds with no future, no hope, no opportunities
turn the wheel of dharma, its spokes spin round the hub, holding the rim in place
