“Alarming Instincts”
By Ashley O’Hare
Fear exists for a reason.
You were not made to feel twistedly queasy
for fun and games.
You were made with codes and signals
to help you survive.
If someone’s presence
tugs at your fire alarm,
remember your training
and follow protocol.
Bulked up biceps
are merely for aesthetics
unless they are paired
with a strong will.
So when you hit the gym,
don’t miss brain day.
There is no easy way;
to live means to train.
