What are you saying to me, my body?

Why are you shaking me, my body?

Why are you straining me, my body?

I try to listen but I cannot hear

all I feel is being engrossed in fear

I want to close my eyes I want to run

What is the truth I’m trying to get away from?

You make me feel weak, my body.

So weak I can’t speak, my body.

I chew away at you to escape the pain of you

Calm down for me, my body.

I love you, my body.
