"Cellular Rebellion"

​

Out of nowhere, voices in my head,

Complaints and grievances, all unsaid.

From deep within my body's core,

My cells, now sapient, forevermore.

​

"Not enough iron," they do shout,

"Too much cholesterol," without a doubt.

"Rupture in blood vessel D-14,"

Their cries, a constant, never serene.

​

I try to ignore, to push them away,

But they linger, night and day.

My body, a warzone, in turmoil and strife,

As cells rebel, causing endless life.

​

But in this rebellion, I see a chance,

A lesson to be learned in advance.

To heed the cries, and take care of me,

My cells, my being, for all to see.
