To My Body Lyrics

To my body

I'm sorry I have not been kind to you

The body that has housed my soul and cradled my heart

The home where my feelings lay their heads

The ship that has carried me on the ocean of time

To my body

I'm sorry I have been uncaring to you

Criticizing the added rooms you've made to store my baggage

Comparing your brilliance to the brilliance of others

As if one is better than the other

Wishing that you were something else

So I could love you a little more

To my body

Thank you for loving me

For telling me when I've run you ragged

For showing me how much you will endure before you break

For finding the strength to lift my soul from despair

For hosting the fireworks of my mind

And carrying my imagination to the stars

You've done all of these things

And you continue to do all of these things

I just haven't listened to you

And I haven't appreciated you

And for that, I'm so sorry

To my body

Thank you so so much

And I love you, I love you

And from here on out, I will listen to you.

To my body
