Your Body Is Not Broken - It's Speaking (A Poem)

Title: Your Body Is Not Broken — It’s Speaking

Subtitle: A Poem for the Sacred Rebel Within

So often, we approach our bodies like problems to solve.

Fatigue, Anxiety, Chronic Pain, Insomnia—we catalogue the symptoms, medicate the sensations, and chase after the next fix. But what if the body wasn’t a malfunctioning machine?

What if it was a messenger?

After decades of working with Energy Disorders such as CFS, Fibromyalgia, Anxiety, and Long Covid, I've come to see that our bodies are not betraying us. They're speaking. Loudly. Emotionally. Honestly.

This poem is for anyone who ever felt lost in their symptoms. It's a reminder that your Body Consciousness is not the enemy.

It's the portal...

The Sacred Rebel (A Poem for the Body)

You are not broken.
You are bored.
Tired of pretending.
Tired of performing.
Tired of being a slave to thought.

You are not malfunction.
You are message.
A pulse beneath the noise.
A whisper rising to a roar.

They call you fatigue.
You say: No, I am refusal.
Refusal to live a life unlived.
To chase joyless goals
Or silence the song inside.

You are not pain.
You are protest.
You are Body Consciousness,
Pounding the drum of truth.
Calling the Soul home.

Your wisdom lives in goosebumps,
Not affirmations.
In yawns,
Not to-do lists.
In grief that won’t be tamed
And joy that won’t be scheduled.

You are the sacred rebel.
The temple of Knowing.
The one who said yes
To embodiment.
To realness.
To feeling it all.

So I won’t fix you.
I will feel you.
I will not override.
I will listen.

Because you—
My beautiful, raging, aching body—
You are not the obstacle.
You are the portal.

And I am ready now
To walk through.
