There was the body---breathing --- yet still some what life less Eyes open- but blank There are no thoughts A heart beats strong and steady For another long day in the world The Body is set and ready At this time there is only emotion FEAR! Uncertainty…DREAD Everything spins In the head But nothing is registered Nothing is said Not wanting to move The body stays silent Quietly wishing it could always be night But it creeps in… Slowly… The light The Body senses this It had not gotten its wish It closes its eyes...not wanting to awake To have to relive all the lies All the hate… Now it’s just a body The spirit, the soul It all dies…no one ever answered the body’s cries So here’s the body To the world it says… I’m sorry ,sorry, sorry…then fades Leaving this twisted maze.
