Hanging Limbs Poem by Sabrina ,

Hanging Limbs

Rating: 4.8


friends hanging out
drunk people driving
cars on high speed
big crash came by

so much pain
major injury
blood all over the place
so much lost

they are still there
I can see them
I cannot feel them
I cannot move them

like if they were not connected to the rest of the body
but they are still attatched
and I can see them
even thow they won't obey me

I put them in place
but I cannot feel them
I want to stand up
but they won't move

these hanging limbs
useless
just hanging from my body
carried by the wheelchair

friends say everything is going to be OK
thank god I cannot feel all of it
paraplegic legs feel nothing
but the pain is unbearable

Hope you are doing fine. You wrote this poem about 5 and a half years ago. I do not know how your condition is now, but your poem saddened me so much that I thought I would inquire from you about your present condition. The title is apt, the poem is truth, hence a beauty.

It's painful.... Feeling not pain is simply very painful, but how easily you have described it.

A very touching piece. I cannot imagine this. Therefore, I hesitate to speak. The poet, has spoken for me. GW62
