body to shelby

hey there it’s me,

your own dear body

we’ve talked some before

but I feel a little ignored 

I keep sending you signs 

But you don’t hear most times 

To the pain in your neck

You just say “What the heck”

You don’t give us a rest

Maybe handle the stress

I don’t think you realize

I’m more than you theorize 

I’m not a bystander

in your visions of grandeur 

I’m not just a case 

That gets you place to place

‘Cuz I’ve always been here

Every joy, every fear 

From before you could do

What you think makes you, you

On the days you’re not sure

What you’re even here for

Maybe just stop and feel

What is means to be real 

Maybe see me with pride

Not your critical side 

Maybe treat me with care 

And no need to compare 

Maybe listen, and find

You are more than your mind 

Not an imprisoned soul

No, and this my goal 

This is my sacred role 

To teach you to be whole
