My body... My responsibility

I thought to myself,

What have I done, turned my temple to grave.

I used you abused you for my state of mind,

I never took care of you I was out of my mind.

I look at myself day and night,

Looking for one justification that I may not find.

I have to change my ways of treating you right,

For now and forever it is your right.

Is it too late I thought to myself,

Then came a whisper that said "never too late".

Now I am scared to look at the consequence,

I'm scared to deal with it in this very instance.

I have to be brave and take responsibility

I know I have it in me, it's my capability.

I love you for now, and ever and ever,

My body, my temple is forever.

I move on with confidence,

Scared though I am.

I can do this I tell myself,

No matter where I am.

It's now my turn to take care of you,

My body, my temple forever it's you.

In my old age nobody will stay,

It's you and me our company I say.

Then let's join hands and work together,

My body my temple forever and ever.
