every now and then
my body overrides my mind
and gets its revenge
for all the times the mind didn’t have compassion
for its exhaustion
for all the times it criticized the way it looked,
the way it moved,
the way it just was
the mind always said that it
just wasn’t enough.
but my body knows better.
so every now and then, my body
fights back and shuts down
and all of a sudden
my mind shuts
the fuck up.
