Betrayal

Health problems really suck! I’ve had my share of nonfunctioning, over functioning, under functioning, irritations, chemical balance problems, low counts of something or another and then your everyday ailments. I’m sure if you are above the age of 25, you’ve had some of your own.

But why do our bodies betray us? At what point do our bodies decide they’ve had enough? Is it because of all the chemicals we use on it? Is it because we use products, some of which were tested on lab rats or made from animal shit? Is it because we drink alcohol that slowly poisons it? Maybe it’s because we repeatedly ram needles into it by piercing various extremities, getting tattoos or using. Is it because we intentionally hurt it just to feel something? Is it because of our diets…all that fast food, ready to serve, or things high in fat and carbs? Is it because we smoke? Is it because we push ourselves too much? Push ourselves to do more, be more? Is it because we don’t use them enough, we don’t make them live up to their potential? Maybe our body is just fed up with being hidden all the time, constantly smothered by layers of clothes. Is it because people poke fun at them or because some people are ashamed of them?

Maybe it’s because we get old…
