Catatonic

I can go all day resisting the urge to urinate
I can successfully ignore a thirst for water
For warmth and for comfort
For touch and smell and taste.
I can suppress guilt at procrastination.

I give in when my bowels shake
I give in when I fear dehydration;
Fear pain and loss,
Suspicion and dependency,
My guilt has no power,
but I am powerless to control it.
