I tried to follow the straight, the narrow
but I always wander off the path
taking chances I shouldn't take
facing the devils evil wrath
I thought I had it figured out
the way to change this stupid life
get the surgery, stop the drugs
yet my world is still full of strife
Now they've canceled my surgery
said insurance won't pay
I doubt that's the reason
they've sent me away
Someone set me up
set up me to take the fall
rigged it so I would fail
but still I'm standing tall
This weight I'm carrying
slows me way down
I can't walk fast, or run
I often cry without a sound
Now they can lock me up
and even throw away the key
my body my be held hostage,
but my mind will always be free
I'll miss my mother most of all
and I've disappointed her again
it seems the only thing I am good at
is writing poems and sitting in the pen
OH how very sad, I have enjoyed this poem dear.... And I know what you are going through..... Keep your chin up and try once again, for maybe, maybe ONE time you may win........ Prayers sent your way.... Bonnie
