Preserve yourself.
That’s getting old,
While frozen in the young.
Sugared,
Salted,
Pickled.
That’s how it’s usually done.
Preserve yourself.
Don’t feel the pain
Or learn to love once more.
Smoked,
Hermetically
Sealed.
You’re fine. You won’t feel sore.
Preserve yourself.
Enjoy surcease
From all life’s pain and pleasure.
Comatosed
Or
Dead to heart.
That’s how, preservation, we measure.
Preserve yourself.
Be by yourself.
Be heart whole and simply free.
Mummified
Or
Desiccated.
You’ll live. Restricted you will be.
Preserve yourself.
Preserve your soul,
Your mind, your liberty.
Awake,
Arise
And fantasise
Of all that you could be.
Preserve yourself.
Preserve the whole.
Feel and know your worth.
Life,
It comes
With joy and pain.
From all, there is rebirth.
