Everybody says 'you gotta stay grounded.'
They can't wait to stomp their feet into my chest.
This mindfulness exercise is so gnawing.
Their definition of gravity will never let me rest.

They don't know I meditate, only to ruminate.
Because my mind stays in an unobtainable place.
The inertia tethers me through the day -
so I spend my nights trying to levitate.

Head always on breakneck overdrive,
gotta practice slow gratitude
just to sleep...
