A dialogue within (I) | Body talk

'I belong to you, you belong to me'
'Oh really?!', screamed my body.
'You don't relate to me much,
nor take good care as such.
Where are you when I cry out in pain,
trying to get your attention in vain?!'

'I'm right here, and I want to listen.
With vitality I will make you glisten.
Just talk to me aloud and speak out,
instead of sulking with a pout.'

'My ways are many and subtle,
often making you run and scuttle.
The pain that bothers you so,
is my voice, didn't you know?!
The more you ignore, the louder I will yell;
my story the agony will tell.
If you take a moment or two to be still,
I will talk to you; I will.

Doctors are needed not,
right here lies what you've sought.
Breathe, and allow us to reconnect,
never letting yourself disconnect.
For if you do,
let me warn you,
it will get worse -
you have seen me rehearse!
Come back to me and love me like before;
we shall stem the tide and reach the shore.

It's mutual care, my dear.
Why store pain and fear?!
Set me free and I shall do likewise;
together in harmony we shall rise,
towards good health, energy, and zest.
Let me govern, give your mind some rest.:)'

'You speak so true, and I hear you now.
To your wisdom, I humbly bow.
I will pause and listen every once in a while
Keep talking, body, in your inimitable style!'
