Physicality

Pretend that I can eat
Not just play with my food
Pretend that I can sleep
Unless I'm tranquilized
And even still
I wake up wet with sweat on my neck
And blind
After a few hours
Pretend that I don't feel like a coward
Or just maybe I'm brave
Who's to say
Do I feel better that there's fear
As to just how far I will go
Really you should know
Nothing's changed
I'll eat you alive, beat and batter you with my words
But in reality, in physicality
I don't have the energy for you
