You think you know your body, that it has no more tricks
You’re used to the aches and pains, the cracks, pops and clicks
Then it does something extra, just to keep you on your toes
A random twitch or spasm that out of nowhere grows
Or you arm will just go numb, the reason far from clear
Your jaw will click, your knee will pop, you’ll go deaf in one ear
Or you’ll wake and find one day that half your face wont move
As if your body has something that it wants to prove
It doesn’t like being forgotten, or even understood
Don’t take it for granted like you generally would
For all its little ploys and tests it’s best to get along
No matter how bad your body, you’ll miss it when it’s gone
