[bodytext] => this human body
is broken, betrayed
and I wonder what I did
to make this my fate
all this heavy weight
how it suffocates
what do you know about pain?
you’ve been handed grace
and it keeps me stuck
in a place I hate
I have no control of this
I am powerless
in sterile rooms
I followed the dots on the floor
taking tests I can’t study for
and I’m failing
ask the universe for answers
fear infects me like a cancer
cold waiting rooms
this lifeless body
gets violated
‘til I’m burning and bleeding
then I just go home
where I’m all alone
going through motions
as days fade into the next
over and again
I keep waking up
in a place I hate
and there’s nothing I can do
we are powerless
and nothing blooms
the sun will rise and set once more
over the same old barren floors
I’m just staring
at calendars that remind me
of every scheduled heartbreak
the stomach ache
this useless body
betrays me
life stays the same
I just wait
in quiet rooms
we are left without
as hope fades out
in sterile rooms
