I’ve forgotten the simple pleasures that exist within a routine.
Out of the shower,
I emerge from the steam.
No longer is my day decisively daunting, no more exists this irrational fear.
I am confident.
My head is clear.
The drastic offset that occurs whenever I fail to compete these acts is often catastrophic.
It has to continue.
I must not stop this.
