Habit-Forming

by Scott Thomas Outlar / January 17th, 2021

Pain is not an illusion
it serves an actual purpose

Isolates a problem

Then you either solve it
or suffer

Sometimes it takes
a little of the latter
before figuring out
the former

other times
a lot

Sometimes someone
might appear to be strutting
but really they’re just
hiding the hobble
of a torn groin

Have a bit of compassion
for the world,
would ya?

and some mercy
on yourself
