Begin To Sing

Though you may have my body

even parts of my mind

you haven't got my soul

and you will not touch my own kind

Of strategic battle planning

detailed and refined

though it takes all my energy

I'll get you from behind

But it can't come from Willfulness

I have to be willing

to have faith in a miracle

logic won't construct the feelings

of faith, patience and confidence

that lack of acceptance can pass

and so I must be present

not putting this moment last

You, Sickness, feel so scary

to my insides, you viciously cling

and though I may feel wary

I must begin to sing
