Description the worst is
when you're broken
and your body just keeps
trying to put you back
together again

and there are shards
of your heart
where your tongue should be
they catch at your cheeks
and leave your chest hollow
but somehow still manage to bleed

and there's soul
dripping from your fingertips
like an IV
feeding the empty veins of all that you touch
until you've withered into
nothing but paper skin and splintery bones

the worst is when
your mind already knows
you're defected
but the rest of you
can't seem to catch up.

This seems to me, more than your other pieces, like it should be sung.

I think the beginning of the second stanza was my favorite.
