A maze of doubt, a tangled mind, Where every step feels undefined. Each word I speak, a stumbling block, Each deed I do, a heavy lock. My thoughts, a labyrinth, dark and deep, Where shadows creep and secrets sleep. I search for light, a guiding hand, But lost...

Unbound
Though chains of circumstance have bound my frame, My spirit soars, unfettered by the same. A quadriplegic, yes, but not confined, For in my heart, a universe I find. Once bound by flesh, now free to roam, A soul untethered, finding peace at home. No longer chasing shadows,...

The Climb
Steel steed by my side, we conquer the trail, Not with swift strides, but with spirit that won’t fail. Wheels carve a path through the whispering pines, Sun dappled leaves dance in dappled designs. The earth greets my touch, though hands cannot roam, Rocks warm beneath, whispering secrets...
