THE RECOVERing

running in the rain feels as cliche as it sounds

cutting words out of poems to make them punchier feels bad

and then good and then bad again

if i love words so much why do i have to get rid of them?

maybe its like friends, we all wants friends but once we get a few too many then we start cutting out the bad ones

should i write a how-to article on how to get over depression and an eating disorder at the same time

it would start and end with prozac

and i think somewhere in the middle i would suggest going for a run

i havent felt inspired to write in a long time but ive been running again so i think this will change

im not sure why but when i run everything becomes poetry

i run around the seawall and i look at people directly in the eye

because if going for a run with someone isn’t intimacy then i dont know what is

i sound like an asshole when i say running saved my life but

running saved my life

so if you’re sad and you don’t know what you are doing then i suggest trying to go for a run

because you may just find out exactly who you are and why you are here and what you need and where you are going

the feeling will only last for twenty minutes, longer if you’re lucky, but it recovery and it’s worth it
