 I am not my own ruled by the weather 

Freezing cold desert heat I remain me 

Yet this forecast leaves me with nobody 

I am told to pull oneself together 

But I cannot control my own weather 

To do so would be against my whole body   

This leaves me with my unknown body 

I need to gather myself together 

I fight against my weather forcefully 

Acting as if the weather is not there 

And so I shapeshift into conformity 

I put on a blank face my life so bare 

My weather remains uncontrolled

Waiting for the moment where my will is my will
