my body will betray me—

or the chances are high at least

one of these parts— 

maybe the skin  

or a less thought of organ

will turn Little Debbies

into diabetes

or soda cans

into cancer

maybe my mind will slip

or maybe my feet will

at this point i’m still

acting like i’m invincible

while invisible

forces make their way through, 

take the codes that are written and re-write them

at times i feel helpless

with so much in the balance

but the older i get, the more it seems

it is more me betraying my body

and less my body betraying me
