Irreplaceable Parts of My Life
I'm paralyzed
But yet I can move
These years I been fighting
I struggled through
I've lost an arm and a leg
But whoever said
I would get my cake
And eat my ice cream too
I had to endure hardships
To penetrate this hard head
My momma always said I had
But to be able to see, breathe
And speak when spoken
At least there's one thing
She can be happy for
But yet
I have lost teeth
The very thing
Coroners identify bodies with no names
A part of my soul taken
When pain
And deterioration signals the brain
This bad piece
Needs to be removed
Before it infects
The good parts of my soul
I desperately try to hold
But yet I can move
These years I been fighting
I struggled through
I've lost an arm and a leg
But whoever said
I would get my cake
And eat my ice cream too
I had to endure hardships
To penetrate this hard head
My momma always said I had
But to be able to see, breathe
And speak when spoken
At least there's one thing
She can be happy for
But yet
I have lost teeth
The very thing
Coroners identify bodies with no names
A part of my soul taken
When pain
And deterioration signals the brain
This bad piece
Needs to be removed
Before it infects
The good parts of my soul
I desperately try to hold

Never give up, Chuck... the turkeys will try... but determination and tenacity will push through..., imagery is strong... the real you comes through... evocative and compelling. Write on, Poet... Ely

Thank you very much for your comment. My dad's favorite line,"Never Give Up", and I live it everyday. Though we go through struggles, we should be happy for the small things we normally take for granted.
