Work

Work.
MILS, and terms, and tests, and DBQs, and essays, and quizzes to make up, quizzes to take, elements to learn, formulas to memorize.
Work.
People to coordinate and throws to learn, endurance to increase, arms to strengthen, strategy to learn and teach.
Keep the peace.
People to speak to, interviews to do, pieces to perform, rejections to receive.
Try again.
Relationships to repair, kindness to repay, hurts to soothe, apologies to give.
Pick a side.
Mistakes to make, classes to fail, pieces to give up on, people to hurt, gossip to listen to.
Don't cry.
Food to eat, exercise to do, fat to pinch, a reflection to hate, thinspiration to pin.
Don't eat.
More to do, always more to do, never-ending work.
What's the sky look like now?
What sky?
