Trapped in a body that
Trapped in a body that will not function
The smallest tasks become a challenge
No more running, dancing, or playing
Standing up becomes your new form of exercise
With every step you heart races
As you will the blackness creeping in to disappear
At times, nothing can prevent your limbs
From crashing into the ground
Picking yourself off the floor
You try to remain calm and collected
The brave face you put on is simply that
No matter how much time passes
The turmoil of emotions does not disappear
You fear the future, you resent yourself
You are tired of the treatments and medications
You wish to go back to a time before this illness reared its nasty head
It can be suffocating to live in a body
That rebels against basic commands
Ensarned in a body with a broken system.
