Can I have a new body please One that works One to carry me throughout the day, Without knowing constant hurt. A heart that knows no sorrows, Not mended up with tape. One that feels love and joy, Not one that is filled with hate. A brand new stomach, fully functional One that can digest A gut that can take the burden of my suffering, But now, I digress A bladder that is of normal size That doesn't keep me up at night A bladder that isn't nothing but a pain One that doesn't seek revenge just to spite A brain that is fully functional One that allows me to be at peace One devoid of anxieties and fears One that doesn't ruminate on the grief If only my body was working, The way it was meant to be. I wouldn't be crying a river Thinking that maybe it's me.

Can I have a new body please One that works One to carry me throughout the day, Without knowing constant hurt. A heart that knows no sorrows, Not mended up with tape. One that feels love and joy, Not one that is filled with hate. A brand new stomach, fully functional One that can digest A gut that can take the burden of my suffering, But now, I digress A bladder that is of normal size That doesn't keep me up at night A bladder that isn't nothing but a pain One that doesn't seek revenge just to spite A brain that is fully functional One that allows me to be at peace One devoid of anxieties and fears One that doesn't ruminate on the grief If only my body was working, The way it was meant to be. I wouldn't be crying a river Thinking that maybe it's me.
