Eeyore
eye an empty
treadmill
and step on
and go
at this stage
the weight ain’t
the only thing
I’m trying
to get off me
not even close
left
right
and center
there’s always
something
to dodge
rather see it coming
‘ya know
before it knocks me out
cold
hope nobody behind me
on this here treadmill
‘cause they might get hit
in the face
with all the lies
the ones they look ‘ya in the eye
pick up the pace
skip that song
need something more
fitting
that’s better
feel like bricks
on my feet
brownies are flying
1
2
3
4
cookies with chocolate
hit the floor
bowls of alfredo
and stew
and microwave goo
bags of crunch
salty, sweet
and sour
too much sugar
too much salt
and that was jest
yesterday
last week was not pretty
but this morning
I got back on the horsey
more like the mule
a 2-mile hike
trudging to the top
so worth it
the air is lighter
easier to breathe
