tw: body image issues (specifically surrounding athletics)
~had a bad run, had a bad year~

the tempo of destruction is 180 beats per minute
well, it should've been
tonight it was 160 beats per minute
too slow
the tempo of destruction used to be 35 beats per minute
but now it stays steady at 50 beats per minute
i thought i was getting better
running was the whole point of getting better
perhaps the tempo of destruction is really the rate at which the words bounce around my head
when i look in the mirror
when i see my teammates
faster and faster until i can't form proper sentences
"you don't look like a runner."
"i know."
