The affliction of the mind is truely one of the body.

For I can not eat, I can not move, can not dream.

My joints ache from disuse

Yet I want to hide away from the world

Stretching, bending, dancing

Are things I want to do in theory

but in practice

Lying in bed is easier

How can I force joy into existence?

Or not even joy, but purpose,

Merely something to halt the inertia

I want something beyond sleep and isolation,

Because I know I don't truly crave that

For why would I crave something that would destroy me?
