In this story
I want to tell you
I'm sick
there's something wrong
I just feel it
my insides hurt with phantom pains
my heart aches like it no longer fits
inside my chest
my body has abandoned its home
these limbs are not mine
they're not under my command
if only you could see
on the inside
the circuit from the heart to the brain is detached
somewhere I can't tell
there's a broken link that must be found and connected
In this story
I am the worst version of myself
Unrecognisably unhappy
