Caring For Your Body

you do not smoke
nothing about alcoholic drinks
you take your centrum vitamins
drink the morning milk
and shy away from chocolates
you exercise everyday
take the morning walks and
spend your time
on a warm sunshine

sometimes, you ask
why?

and sometimes you
reach for an answer: don't know

why is it that despite this caring for the body
this beautiful body
something inside you still wants to die.
