Don't Do It

Unless...

Unless it burns like liquid fire
In your soul,
Don’t do it.

Unless it stirs the atoms 
In your whole being,
Don’t do it.

Unless it feels like angel wings
Beating against your ribcage,
Don’t do it.

Unless being still will
Drive you to the brink of madness,
Don’t do it.

Unless being still will
Cast you into the core of hell,
Don’t do it.

Unless you will starve 
To certain death without it, 
Don’t do it.

Rea de Miranda

"when it is truly time,
and if you have been chosen,
it will do it by
itself and it will keep on doing it
until you die or it dies in you.

there is no other way.

and there never was.”
Charles Bukowski
