My hands can't cook a good meal

            Without someone else's help...

            To share it with you.

My arms are not strong enough

            To lift and hold heavy things...

            To help you with your burdens.

My legs are not firm enough

            To run a mile...

             And catch up to you.

My feet are not sturdy enough

              To keep standing...

               And keep waiting for you.

My body's not resilient enough

               To take blows...

               To protect you.

My heart's not durable enough

                To take more kicks...

                To hold the pain.

My head's not strong enough

                To think anymore...

                And think about us.

These are my broken parts

                But together...

                Do I matter to you?

With my weak parts as a whole

               Am I better?

               Or am I worse?

Goodbye for now

                I'm breaking now...

                I'm fading away.
