Lowercasemmmmmm

Lowercasemmmmmm

treadmill

you live your life forever unhappy
persistently vexed at who you are,
permanently gazing at the treadmill next to you
wishing you were them, while they wish they were you.
 
you live your life forever unhappy
lifting weights to change your mass,
other peoples opinions, why do they matter
be yourself, learn to laugh.
 
you live your life forever unhappy
I’m continually surprised at the level of your despair,
climb down off that treadmill and sit for a while
they’ll still run and wish, even though your ghost isn’t there.
