note to self

awaken, my dear, come dry your eyes
now is not the time for telling lies
you must stay true, to try your best
you must never tire, you must never rest.
callous, but cordial, accept your beating
remember that consciousness is more than fleeting
you may illicit the need to preach for others
but try not to be such an ugly mother.
take care, you big lug, of yourself first
you know you need it, you know your worth
memories stain but do not complete
i cannot complain of sticky feet

coming or going? who's to tell?
i'm caught, and broken, under your spell
so while i try to stay cool, to flaunt a little
please stay for a while to solve my riddle
