(Verse 1) Stuck in this chair, a throne of steel and sorrow Every single day, the same damn tomorrow They see a broken man, a hollow shell to pity But there’s a fire burning, a rage within this city Trapped in this flesh that won’t obey my mind...

Concrete Hell!
(High-energy, distorted punk guitar riff kicks in, fast and chaotic. The drums are a driving, hard-hitting beat.) (Verse 1 – Rapper, fast and aggressive) Yo, the world’s on fire, and I’m just watching the flames Running from the truth, playing these insane games The voice in my head,...

Life on Wheels: Navigating the World with Quadriplegia
Life can throw some serious curveballs. For me, that curveball was a spinal cord injury that left me a quadriplegic. Suddenly, the world I knew shifted on its axis. Simple things I once took for granted – reaching for a glass of water, scratching an itch, getting out...

GETTING IT RIGHT?
The scale tips, always just a hair, Away from balance, tipped by air. I strive and strain, I bend and mold, A story left forever untold. Each effort launched, a hopeful flight, Descends too soon in fading light. The measured praise, a whispered breeze, Lost in the rustling...

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....

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,...

Overcoming Fear Of Unknow
A heavy weight, a heart that’s sore, Disappointment stings once more. Dreams unmet, a path unclear, But hope remains, I persevere. Tears may fall, like cleansing rain, Washing clean the hurt, the pain. Though shadows linger, skies will mend, Brighter days are just around the bend. I’ll take...
