I visualize it.
As I
Cook
Cut
And chew
My healthy food,
I visualize how
It will spread.
The all-natural, non-processed,
Antioxidants fibers minerals nutrients proteins vitamins
Will –
In alphabetical order –
Make their way to every single
(Prison) cell of mine
And make each and every one
Just a little bit healthier.
As I
Stretch
Strengthen
And sweat (so much)
In the gym,
I visualize how the exercise
Will exorcise my demons.
As I feel the burn
And wick the slickness
Off my broken body,
I pretend I’m working the sickness
Out
And muscle by muscle, making myself
Just a little bit healthier.
Watch me as I cling
To the desperate belief
That beholden in me
Is the innate ability
To make myself
Just a little bit healthier.
I’ve been visualizing it for so long,
Some might say I’m beginning to lose my mind.
But if I lost it, I would simply eat healthy and exercise
And try
(And fail)
To make that part of me
Just a little bit healthier, too.
