Every muscle aches Tense Stretching into yet another morning Awaiting the inevitable Slinking through dark hallways The front door pulled free, sliding open on silent hinges I breathe deeply of dew My hands shake in my coat pockets I don't want to go to the doctor I know that I am getting a shot They (my illusion of control) always tell me to behave Well I'm not like them or anyone else I know Drawing in quiet, shadowed corners I barely hear the soft cry of doves **** them My whole Thursday is ruined Shouldn't I have some say? Property. Separate beating heart. Separate thinking brain Property. Why even run, someone else will just find me Try and stick me with "anti-bodies" Under the guise of "knowing-what's-best-for-me" **** them. Feet moving faster. Only I know what's best for me

Twelve-year-old's View on Immunization
