Pain

I'm gonna play through the pain
I'm on my feet all day every day
For work
My weak knee needs to cooperate

I've been working out
Strength training and cardio
That's what pushed me over the edge
Caused me to go weak

The only way out is through
I can't take time off
And I'd rather not stop exercising
I want to build muscle
Victory over weakness

A Brisk Walk At Night

The last remnants of summer still waft int he air Sneakers fall firm on the hard pavement Beneath the glow of the just bright enough street lights The silence is broken by two cars creeping past with headlights that temporarily blind until you look away for a second, but can still see in the darkness for a moment after they've passed A quite couple mumbles beneath their porch light Just off the main road in town The lights begin to fade and darkness is left A whimsical fear is seen but not heard The chill up the arms and down the legs feels rather nice, refreshing even A quickened pace brings the beginnings of a dampness of the forehead Quelled by the night and the chill of darkness before it began Crickets play a constant symphony of noise in the night Ending as it began In the light, near the cars Safe and sound

Uses

I have a use for all my clothes Everything I've bought And been given And acquired Looks good until I've worn it out I have nice clothes and casual clothes But nothing just sits in my closet or dresser I have backups of everything in my pantry And weeks worth of food in the fridge and freezer Nothing gets wasted or goes bad Most days I eat leftovers Most portions are precise I have new shoes, old shoes, and pretty worn out shoes Ripped and broken shoes go in the trash I have what I need And rotate accordingly until everything is worn out I've removed everything I don't use or need Collecting dust in storage Because it's good to be useful
