They Don’t Understand

April 20, 2024 0 ROCKSTARROB Writing

Trapped in a cage, though the bars unseen, A world of motion, a life serene. They see the stillness, a peaceful guise, But the storm within my own two eyes. A symphony of aches, a constant drone, A fire that burns where flesh and bone Should move with...

The Climb

March 29, 2024 0 ROCKSTARROB Writing

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...

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...

Steel Won’t Hold Me Down

(Fast tempo, distorted guitars) Verse 1 Used to fly like a comet, chaos in my stride Mosh pit acrobat, nowhere to hide Now I’m strapped to this chrome chariot, stuck in slow gear But this ain’t no hearse, my spirit ain’t dead here Chorus Chrome don’t confine me,...

Four Walls

March 28, 2024 0 ROCKSTARROB Writing

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,...

Over Coming Odds

March 25, 2024 0 ROCKSTARROB Writing

A world confined, a body stilled,A diagnosis, a future chilled.Quadriplegic, the verdict fell,Hope’s fragile flame, they almost quell. But in that heart, a fire burned,A spirit fierce, for life unturned.The odds they stacked, a mountain high,Yet in their gaze, a steely eye. Through therapy’s relentless grind,They pushed their...

The Dead Tree

March 20, 2024 1 ROCKSTARROB Writing

The sentinel stood, a skeletal frame, A silhouette stark, whispered death’s cold name. Branches like bones, clawed at the sky, No leaves to unfurl, just a mournful sigh. Seasons had turned, a silent ballet, Winter’s white shroud, spring’s verdant display. But the dead tree remained, a haunting sight,...

World Of Motion

March 19, 2024 0 ROCKSTARROB Writing

In a world of motion, I find my stillness,A captive soul in a body unyielding.Muscles that fired now forever stalled,Dreams once vibrant, patiently enthralled. Each breath a battle, a fight for control,The simplest tasks a story to be told.A symphony of care, a chorus of need,Independence a whisper,...

A Quadriplegic

March 17, 2024 0 ROCKSTARROB Writing

I am a quadriplegic, I am trapped in this body, a prisoner of my own flesh. I can’t do the things I used to love, I can’t even take care of myself. But I am not giving up, I am fighting every day to regain my independence. I...
