Story

In elementary school
I had a special privilege
I didn't fully appreciate
I rode every Thursday
across town
To another school
For physical therapy
Occupational as well
And what I dreaded
Has become a beautiful memory

Every Thursday
My mind escaped
What my body could not
Mental pain
Becomes physical strength

My two therapists
Would expect excellence
Because they saw
What I refused
To acknowledge
I would rise
To any circumstance
