Recuperation Song
Lannie Rose, 2/2003

[chant]
I'm better than yesterday, worse than tomorrow.

I ache.
I cry.
I sweat.
I sigh.

So hot.
So weak.
So cold.
Can't sleep.

I groan.
Can't sleep.
Surgeon sewed,
I weep.

They purged me.
They shaved me.
They cut me.
They saved me.

I pray.
I feel.
I smile.
I heal.

I'm better than yesterday, worse than tomorrow.
