Bicycle Muscles

Ever since I got back from college
I've been much more serious
and also much more afraid of little things
like you

I have too many chemicals in my body
and none of them are the right ones
Cigarettes and alcohol
and painkillers
To treat these Aching teeth
To fix this broken jaw
Alienate my friends with philosophy
and a part of me
My eyes are like a boxers'
all blackened out
I don't fight anymore
I don't see one fucking reason to unless it's
To treat these Aching teeth
To fix this broken jaw
Alienate my friends with philosophy
and a part of me
tightly clenched teeth
ride these wild eyes
baggy and red, badly undone

loving the moment
before the panic attack
I will not succumb, I will never succeed
