Catharsis
Is a get-it-off-my-chest,
Channel-my-energy-elsewhere-then-brush-yo-shouldas-off sort of thing.
And I always think it will make breathing easier,
It lets a little of the tension that builds in my muscles.
Psycho-physiology,
amazing and frustrating that my mind and my body are so interconnected,
but I guess that's sort of what makes the "heart";
both to feel but not with physicality,
to lead but not with the mind.
I don't succumb to it often,
- catharsis, not my heart, for that I'm a sucker -
but when I do,
It never fails to fail,
Leaving only the illusion of betterment.
But I guess an illusion feels better
than helplessness or stagnance.
