Just a little sad
Just a little disappointed
that all my dreams
are stalled
because of this
excruciating pain
I'm sorry I can't go on
I'm only as strong
as my weakness
and my weakness
has given up
on me as well.

I can only give what
hasn't been taken
but all that is left
is the crack in my heart.
I no longer care
whether I live or die
I only imagine that
I will live a different day
in a different body
where it doesn't hurt
to stand or speak.

I can only imagine
the hurt people face
when I'm suffering
and this isn't the worst.

If I could spell out
how sorry I am
that I don't see the light
I would write it for
everyone to see.

Don't underestimate
the power of pain
It's will to live on
when the body is done
and has given in.
If I had that much
will, I could only
imagine what I would do.

If I could change the world
I wouldn't take out the hurt
or the sore feelings
I would make everyone with
understanding in their hearts
so they don't tell us
what we can and cannot
feel, or what we should
or should not
be able to do.
