No Body, No Pain

 Saturday, June 10, 2006

My body would hurt so if I had one

Instead of my head bobbing and bobbing

In the air like a helium-filled balloon

Because the pain sometimes feels

Would feel, unbearable.

But, since I am just a head

When I feel this bad

My body feels no pain

No body, No pain.

Sometimes I feel that a body

Might be better than a head

Because the body hurt can go away

Pain in ones head is eternal.

Or so it seems

Why is it that head pain

Is called pain as in the body?

Or is it pain in the heart?

Of course, the heart is in the body.

Should it not be called something else?

Like poison of the soul?

And body pain is a symptom of illness

From which one can die.

So, can one die from soul pain?

Heart or head or soul – pain.

I guess that might be suicide

Or the body just finally giving in.

Are they tied together

This soul and this heart, head and body?

Such that for one to live

They all must thrive or at least try.

When my body disappears,

It gives my soul a time to howl

Without worry of death

Or of not trying hard enough.
