Cool down

take another minute looking at the mirror
you might see something’s off
really, take it in and think.
in your eyes, see that there’s something burning
the way you tighten your jaws, raise the eyebrow,
and tighten your lips might be saying something
before it leaks through words and actions,
take a break.
take the emergency exit to respite
and take a deep breath. in. then out.
it might be no so bad after all.

The end

Make it your friend, your tombstone
After all, it’s your last bed mattress
Laying your head for one last time
In the end, one must finally rest. 

So now: strive. Invigorating heart
Widening eyelids, breath in scents
Of life, confess your love in human
Beings, swim upstream to flow of
Time. 

Make your death 
your friend. 
Do not be afraid.
