My body likes to whine
It likes to stay in bed
It doesn’t like to work
It wants to be well fed
My mouth loves to talk
It cannot make it short
If you speak to me
I’ll have a quick retort
This ego wants to show
The world that I’m the best
It’s going to prove it so
And never gives me rest
My heart has longings too
That can’t be satisfied
Despite what I’m given
Desires just won’t subside
I also have a will
That’s going to make it right
It’s stubborn and it’s tough
And smiles at a fight
It doesn’t have a fear
Laughs at time and space
And if I have to crawl
I’m going to win this race
