Morbidly Ironic
Morbidly ironic
Profoundly apologetic
To the body that has carried me
Despite the rigorous decrees
I issued over you
Knowing the stress and restrictions followed were of my own volition
Here I now kneel, begging the same body I so begrudgingly belittled and bullied
The body that I starved and overworked
The body I intentionally cut and bruise and burn
The body with the walking death sentence
Now pleading for this same body to produce life
Have I asked too much
Pushed the boundry of her capabilities
Exceeded the capacity in her efforts of saving me
Why did I not value you
Take care of you
Love you like I should've
I now know of your limitations
