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
