Selfish heart
-MistressAli

Selfish heart
Quit beating 
Just because you have the obsessive
Compulsion to keep circulating blood
Doesn't mean you should.
Doesn't mean it's right. 

Selfish lungs, why do you keep 
Bringing in oxygen
Blowing out carbon dioxide?
It's a pointless cycle, really
But you have this addiction to it
Maybe you should break it
Maybe it's not good.

Stupid body, quit giving me signals to eat
So maybe I can waste away oblivious
Stupid tongue, quit thirsting
Stupid mind, quit waking me up so I can dream into death
Damn you, cuts, quit congealing 
It's not right to keep clotting. Maybe your slave wants you to bleed dry on the floor. 

Do think it's the right thing to do? To keep me imprisoned here? 
You know the only thing I want is escape. 
But you enjoy it, don't you, twisted selfish shell, 
you just love keeping me alive. 
A prisoner in here until someone does me in, something cuts the thread.
Or maybe I'll kill you myself. Slave slaying master. 

Do you think that would be right?
Do you think it would be good?
What do you care? You're selfish.

I want to be selfish too. 
Let me go.
