Lost in a Labyrinth

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,...

A seed they said, in barren ground, No chance to bloom, no hope to be found. A whispered doubt, a pitying frown, But deep within, a fire burned down. The whispers grew, a chorus strong, “Give it up,” their voices throng. But roots dug deep, where shadows lie,...

Alone And Misunderstood

Trapped within this shell, a world I cannot touch, A mind ablaze with dreams, a body that moves so much. Isolated by silence, unseen tears I cry, Misunderstood whispers, a constant questioning why. The walls become my canvas, the window shows the race, A world in vibrant motion,...

Firestorm

A searing storm beneath the skin, A constant, burning, buzzing din. Nerves ablaze, a frantic plea, For even fleeting vacancy. Each breath a spark, a touch a flare, The gentlest breeze feels harsh and bare. The world a blur, a muted hush, As fiery tendrils writhe and crush....
