Paralyzed

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’s battle is one of constant strife. It’s like a war on every front with never a respite. The enemy is strong and cruel, with no concern for life. It takes away your ability to move, breathe, and thrive. But even though the battle’s long And hope...

Will Not Sleep

March 2, 2024 0 ROCKSTARROB Writing

I will not go to sleep tonight, but lie awake and think of it; Of all the things that I have done, And of the things I might have done. I will not go to sleep tonight, but lie awake and dream of it; Of all the things...

Alone

February 22, 2024 0 ROCKSTARROB Writing

Im lost, Where thoughts and feelings dwell, And all the paths are winding, And none of them go well. I wander through the darkness, And I can’t find my way, And I’m afraid to call for help, For fear of what I’ll say. I’m lost in my own...

Not Here

February 7, 2024 0 ROCKSTARROB Writing

I am not here. I am not seen, I am not heard. I am a shadow, I am a ghost. I am a whisper, I am a breath. I am a dream, I am a thought. I am a feeling, I am a hope. I am the unseen,...

Love You Like

I love you like the sun loves the sky, Like the moon loves the stars, Like the rain loves the earth, Like the flowers love the bees. I love you like a child loves their mother, Like a friend loves their confidant, Like a lover loves their soulmate,...

Trapped

January 19, 2024 0 ROCKSTARROB Writing

My body is trapped, In this chair that I hate, I can’t move, I can’t run, I can’t even skate. I’m stuck, In this prison of metal and wheels, I watch as the world passes me by, and I feel so small and weak. I want to be...
