Six AM. Wake.
Slept eight hours.
Ideal.
Eat.
Eggs, toast, coffee, pill.
Protein, fat, carbs, caffeine, meds.
Tick all the boxes.
Blow my nose.
Exercise.
Ignore the pain.
I'm doing everything right.
Aren't I?
Work. Six hours.
Have you tried acupuncture?

Ignore the pain.
Ignore the pain.
Ignore the pain.
I am doing everything right.
My body doesn't care.
I am self-destructing.
There is nothing I can do about it.
