i am trying not to
crumple like a old silk dress. i am repeating a new mantra.
i have wasted too many years
slumping through this death trap of a city.
steel the heart and feel nothing. hold the chin up and harden
the eyes. firm gait. strong words. i am made of metal, and inside of light. i
will contain and glow forth. i do not have blood but light which runs through
my veins. i am steel and i am strong and i WILL do this. i will not crumble. i
am hardened. the inside does not matter. i will work all the time and there
will be no time for panic. there will be time for nothing but getting things
done and making things happen and succeeding.
i am made of steel. i am made of steel. i have a lion’s heart. i
am steel and i am made of light. i will go to grad school. i will learn things.
i will become successful in my own eyes. i will not let myself down. i will not
allow myself to be pulled down. do not listen to the mind. do not let it win.
stay, stay for the dying of the light. fight to the death to keep moving. do
not be sucked into the cesspool of winter. keep moving. do not become frozen.
do not turn to stone.
