My Body

My body is my home.
I was born here.

My body is my friend,
a constant companion.
My body is my enemy,
sometimes a vicious foe.
My body is my keeper,
it protects me from the world.
My body is my teacher,
everything changes.
My body is my lover,
ever faithful.
My body is my inheritance,
my parent's greatest gift.
My body is my conscience,
my appetites reflected in the mirror.
My body is my plaything,
a great source of fun.
My body is my transport,
it gets me from a to b.
My body is my canvas,
here I paint myself each day.
My body is my life,
without it I am nothing.

My body is my home.
I'll live here until I die.
