These Arms

i have these arms

i cannot use them

these destinations

i did not choose them

my arms will not lift

my fingers will not grip

my back won’t support

not me not my weight

but my mind it won't slip

it won’t stop it won’t flip

it won’t pause it won’t grind

it won’t hesitate and it won't waste time

it’s gonna do just fine

my leg's will carry me

but only for a bit

but they will not run

not even a quick step

my mind is pulling triple time

it won’t let itself rest

it won’t wander it won’t laze

it will never need a weary gaze

it wont fall apart in malaise

it’s here it’s now it is and it stays

and as large as my heart is

it’s thumpin and pumpin

marking my time

doing what it needs to

to get the job done

simply and honestly

because i only have the one
