You have to eat your vegetables
You have to dance
You have to clean for the Guest
You have to wash your face and wear something nice
You have to quit smoking
You have to read a poem
You have to reach out to someone--
not with your hands
not with your heart, expecting to be loved
You have to reach out to someone with your honest soul
I haven't told you why
You have to save yourself every day
Partly because I think you already know
But I will try to explain, because we have some words in common
It's not to keep you from going insane--
Go ahead and go!
Rather, if you don't save yourself
You will find Hell around every corner
Hell reflected back at you from the eyes of everyone you meet
