Don’t Lose Your Shit

You can bleed from your wounds,
You can bruise from the fight,
You can burn from your anger,
You can freeze from your fright,
You can cower in sorrow,
You can rage when you’re lit,
But whatever may happen,
Just don’t lose your shit.

You can ride your emotions,
You can banish your smiles,
You can hide from the stigma,
You can scatter for miles,
You can shout yourself silent,
You can whisper your bit,
But whatever may happen,
Just don’t lose your shit.

You can cry yourself empty,
You can scream yourself hoarse,
You can fall into nothing,
You can drown in remorse,
You can run yourself ragged,
You can crash where you sit,
But whatever may happen,
Just don’t lose your shit.

You can curse at the labels,
You can feel yourself die,
You can roll with the punches,
You can simply deny,
You can wait for the bell,
You can suffer a hit,
But whatever may happen,
Just don’t lose your shit.

You can take all the meds,
You can talk all the talk,
You can follow advice,
You can walk all the walk,
You can offer surrender,
You can try a new fit,
But whatever may happen,
Just don’t lose your shit.
