Wax
My body is covered with wax
I noticed it today
It's a thin white gunky film
That will not go away

My body is coated with wax
It builds and builds and builds
I can't do anything I want to
My life seems unfulfilled

My body is layered with wax
I cannot even move
Not a day goes by that I don't wish
My situation would improve

My body is caked with wax
I guess I'll leave it be
I'll forever be cased inside this prision
I've accepted I won't be free

My body was enclosed with wax
Until a phenomenon
I thought of something else today
And suddenly it was gone

I cried as it fell off me
And I felt the fresh clean air
I felt like I could breathe again
There's was nothing to despair

Some days the wax comes back to me
But I know just what to do
I think of anything else I can
And my life begins anew
