When my lower back is cold
Your hands are warm
When my hands are calloused
Your hands are soft
When I'm feeling tired
You've just brewed us chai...
And when I've been scolded
For the way I love myself
When I've been handed
Weights made for my back
When I've laughed off connections
In favor of surface-value celebrity
And when I'm finally exposed
And no one is around
Your lips tell me I'm there
In the place I need to be
You're suddenly all hungry
For taking on more weights
And you barrel like a champion
Through the walls I'm putting up
You walk in to see me sitting
In the corner in a ball
And you sit down and join me
Until I smile again
