Overcome my Brittle Bones
Unfortunately this task is a daily chore
Bending to sit on toilet bowl joints soar
Son helping father stand
Mind fast and wanting but body won't tend
Glistening eyes of need
For the life I once lived still jolting inside me
Bodily strength lessens, taking with it my desire
And replacing it with fear and desperate fire
Each day life drains from me
Dependent on those who were once mine to put to sleep
Living is a undesirable task
Simply because my mind disagrees with my body, that's a fact

Very daunting. Wanting to escape disabilities yet cant. I have Lupus but Lupus doesnt have me-- at least thats what i tell myself. All that can be done is try and never succumb to our disadvantages.
