a song about my messed up body and my infertility
My body, oh, my body is torturing me
It’s wrong, all wrong, and I can’t find the strength
To breathe, I just want to sleep and never wake up
Maybe in the next life I’ll be who I should
I had a dream I gave birth to a daughter
I felt overwhelming love and I cried as I held her
I woke up feeling empty inside and clutching my stomach
I’ll never be whole save for some miracle
I finally recognize my face when i look in the mirror
But if i look between my legs i wish i’d just disappear
Its too much, i cant stand it
Why was I born this way?
“Hey, enough with the self pity” you say
Oh please, just go away
My body, my body, my body’s no good
Maybe in the next life itll be what it should
I better hope that it will, cause Im at my wits end, i’m losing my mind
Id rather never have been born than have to do this one more time

Lovely fingerpicking. I felt a sense of sadness, betrayal and frustration in your song through the raw lyrics and fragile vocals. Beautifully sad song about such an incredibly painful journey. Wishing you peace.

Oof - heartbreaking topic - sensitively handled - and your performance is sublimely understated. Love your voice & playing
