Dear Body

I’m sitting in my bio class
Learning all about you
I think we need to have a chat
Since, you don’t do what you’re supposed to

Did you know

You’re supposed to fix yourself?
You have the way to repair
With no external help

How about those things called joints
Fickle as can be
They’re supposed to bend and glide
They’re supposed to move pain free

Muscles work together
Nerves send proper signs
Wouldn’t it be better
If with these rules you could align?

    Of the pain my body makes
    And I will not be offended
    If there’s not a part of you that aches
