My

My vocal chords would like

To strum out the words

'Lost cause'

My heart is steady and beating

Screaming to try, shouting the words

'No'

My brain is calm and collected

Sitting in its shell, merely whispering

'Don't even bother'

My eyes are red and tired

Sitting in the eyelid, saying

'See'

My ears are sensitive and active

Extending out of my head, saying

'Let. Just let'

My mouth is smiling

Truthfully

'It's their life'
