The Crow

I was so depressed man.

I was so depressed man.

It was a down day.

Yall think only women have cycles

Men have cycles

Theirs is once every two weeks

Cyclical

Ours is every 4 days

2 good days

One great one

One filled with hell

I was down

I was depressed

And in pain

I had coded for so many days so long my arms felt like bricks

They were aching

Inflamed

So in the night

Right after sunset

I wore my regular shorts

Swim trunks in hand

And walked down to the gushing snow melt

I was afraid

And didnt wanna jump in

When a giant raven i saw on the stream rock bed

Flew next to me

I didnt have my contacts in

He was HUGE

Kneee high

I knew he was special

He landed right next to me

Winged i thought

Heres a sign from my friend the Raven

I named him Rafiq - the kurdish word for Friend

And i jumped into the freezing cold water

Not out of desire

But need

I was in that much pain

I went fully in

Cranked my neck back

So my entire body could heal the inflammation

It first turns to pain

The to inflammation

Then to chronic pain

Then to arthritis

I know this because im not a libtard

I think for myself and ask questions from actual learned men and experts

I think.

I know the cause of arthritis.

So i stayed in the water.

And a man came up from afar on his hike

And said your a brave man

If he knew my pain

He would jump in too!

And if he saw Rafiq

He would stay and chat of deeper things.
