I know this definitely isn't my best work, but I needed a catharsis.


Own

What does it feel like to own your body?
I was too young to remember clearly
and I wasn't aware I'd need a record.
The disease owns my body,
and I am a prisoner in this flesh.
Eloquence is useless in this skin
where the simplest body functions
tire me.
I need sleep from this life.
I have decades more to deteriorate
and all I want is one day of
peace.
