It’s in all of these

I eat my insides and swallow them whole
Teach me how to spew
Teach me how to scream
At the edge of the cliff, holding steady
Show me how to weep
Show me how it’s deep

Pain is good, drink it all in
Remind me how to live
Why I should thrive
And I’m born with drive
To push under weight
As my bones lose their place
With a thousand breaks

I still eat my insides
And go to bed sour.
