Do you have it in you?

Hold your own hand
Feel that touch
Play with your fingers
Your nails
Hold your hand tight
Stop the blood circulation
Let it hurt
Release

Take a deep breath
Close your mouth
Now hold your nose closed with your finger and thumb
Wait
Breathless?
Release

Place your hand on your head
Put your hand through your hair
Grab a small amount in your hand
Pull it
Pull it hard
Let it hurt
Release

Scratch yourself
Let it turn red
Scratch some more
Stop

Feel every single tooth in your mouth with your tongue
Every side and groove in every tooth
Stick your tongue out of your mouth
Bite
Bite hard
Let it hurt
Stop

Grab your right foot
Look at it carefully
Touch your big toe to your nose
You can do it
Try
Try again
Re-position yourself and try again
Hold your toe to your nose
Streach those muscles
Hold it
Hold it
Hold it
Feel it
Let go

Close your eyes
Close them so tight that the darkness engulfs you
Keep them tightly closed
Not a flicker of light
Closed
Closed
Closed
Open them slowly
The bright light
Let your pupils re-adjust

Place your hand in front of your mouth
If you have a mirror even better
Breathe in
Breathe out
Feel the warmth
Watch the mirror fog
Let it de-fog

Feel the passion
Feel the pain
Feel the light
Feel your breath
Feel your soul
Feel yourself

Rejoice - You're alive
