My Girls

(Verse 1) Woke up in this bed of concrete and steel, Another day, another fight I have to feel. They put me here, said it was for my own good, But they don’t know the pain, misunderstood. They took my freedom, my life, my everything, But what really...

Still Life

Still life, they call it, this vessel I’m in, But storms rage within, unseen from the skin. Muscles may falter, my grip may be weak, But the heart in this cage, oh, the feelings it speaks

PROVE THEM WRONG

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,...

THOUGHTS

The shadow of mistakes, a constant blight, Each step I take, a stumble in the night. A symphony of errors, discordant and deep, Where every triumph, a fleeting, fragile sleep. The weight of judgment, a crushing, heavy hand, On every choice, a self-imposed command. To meet a standard,...

Don’t Give Up

Here’s an uplifting poem about never giving up on yourself: Don’t let doubt dim your fire, Though the path ahead seems dire. Hold your head up to the sky, Let your spirit soar on high. Each stumble, a chance to learn, With each fall, a lesson earned. Rise...

Four Walls

In four walls, a world transformed, Muscles stilled, a life reformed. Once fluid grace, now bound by chair, Adapting wings, to find new air. The mind, a compass, strong and true, Charts a course in shades of blue. Frustration’s tide, it ebbs and flows, But will to thrive,...
