Every Day Poem by Sabrina ,

Every Day

Rating: 5.0


it's morning, the room is already full of sunlight
outside birds sing in harmony
people cross the streets in hurry
and I'm still in bed

I'm awake for a few minutes now
but I didn't stand up yet
my legs won't help me do what depends on them
they are dormant in a deep coma state

unsuccessful try to wake them up again
they look atrophied from the lack of use
skinny for the muscle loss
indifferent to the world

I cannot stay here all day long waiting for a miracle
I look to the weelchair beside the bed
I look to my lower body, still apathetic to me
I will not keep this lethargic inertness!

with the arms I put myself on the seat
one leg falls from the bed before I could catch
I know it hurts but I cannot feel the fall
I have to take it by hand and put in place

footrest loaded
hands on the wheels
now I can start my day
without those useless legs

Very astonishingly you have described your effort at the start of every new day..............it shows a good sign of hope and eagerness of still wanting to live life with passion despite of the tragedy............10/10
