My Body Is My Own

I have learned to cut you off and
I have learned to leave you out
Mm, my body is my own
I don't care if you come around

I don't care if you malign me
And I don't mind if you abuse
I am mindful all internal
And I've got nothing left to lose

All my life is writ, decided
My next life will prove to you
That I could see what God provided
And how to put those things to use

I've saved for my next incarnation
Boxes, bags and bowls of breath
Bales of joy and raw elation
To break me through the wall of death

I have learned to hide my feelings
And I have learned to laugh alone
Through sun and sea, my skin is peeling
And my body remains my own

Remains my own
Remains my own
