Boxing Bag

Boxing Bag

as time goes on

and you get older

looking over your shoulder

and in the mirror

and what’s ahead

and what’s over

it can be a lot

to deal with

some people drink

a lot

some people eat

a lot

some people smoke

a lot

some people sleep

a lot

some people sleep

around

a lot

some people pop pills

a lot

some people shop

a lot

some people whine

a lot

some people blame

a lot

some people judge

a lot

some people hate

a lot

some people yell

a lot

some people hit

a lot

some people hurt

a lot

it can be a lot

instead of self-imploding

self-loathing

or taking it out on others

get yourself a pair

of boxing gloves

and find a boxing bag

and learn how to throw a proper punch

pick a song (NF) and put it in your ears

and disappear

5 minutes later

10 minutes later

15 minutes later

20 minutes later

25 minutes later

30 minutes later

an hour later

it won’t be as heavy

whatever it is

and you’ll feel

a whole lot

lighter
