Give pause, my girl, give pause.
Is it worth the loss of sleep,
and the aggravation,
this oblivion you hunger after,
the Zen you cannot struggle for,
this drive grotesque and Giger-esque
to send yourself screaming to the precipice,
just to shatter and splinter into acquiescence?
The drop is sheer from here
Wouldn't you rather just rest?
