Read the room and have a little grace.

What is a body

Without a soul?

Who does my body belong to

If I am not in control?

 

My body is

Big Pharma

Corporate consumerism 

Student debt

 

My body is

PMS?

Take this pill

You’ll be all set

 

My body is

An image

Of a standard

Society set

 

My body is

A career

And expectations

I have not met

 

So I take these pills

And voting kills

All in a hope to pay the bills

 

But 

 

My soul is

Hopes and dreams

yearning

To achieve

 

My soul is

Love and support

That make

Me believe

 

My soul is

Memories, childhood

And experiences

Waiting to receive

 

My soul is

Sun rays and storms

Chaos, changing

Like the leaves

 

Life can be

Creative

Warm

Inspiring

 

It can also be

Emotional

Weird

And tiring

 

The world can be good

And people can be kind

If you forget about greed

And learn to unwind

 

So now I ask you

To look up at the blue

And remember that all you do

Matters too.
