To live
loved and appreciated
Is a gift
I don’t know
If many can fully
Comprehend
Disability
Has given me
Access
To the
Life lessons
Most humans
May never
Understand
I see the world
For what it is
Yet hold out
Hope
For miracles
That my thoughts
Be disproven
With confident conviction
I’m showing you
My battles
The physical
Ankles and knees
And the emotional scars
I shamefully hid
The depression
And anxiety
That almost
Sunk my ship
If I’m honest
I’m always going
To need therapy
Of some sort
And I accept
That fact
With pride
I want to live
A life
That says
God made
It happen here
And He wants
To do
The same
For you

ReplyDeleteYour first lines remind me of the quote "To love and be loved is to feel the sun on both sides." You are precious and I love the way you are such a wonderful wordsmith, crafting them from your own experience and pain
