TRAPPED

Sometimes I feel like I'm trapped in a cage, Sometimes I'm happy, other times I rage. My eyes are a window, searching everywhere, Searching for a cure, that simply isn't there! I tell my legs to move, but they won't play ball, They just don't listen, or agree to move at all! My arms are just as stubborn, no matter how much I try, I am pleading that they listen, and I start to cry. Some mornings when I wake, I forget about MND, When I dream at night, I see a healthy me. My body may be trapped, but the dreams inside my head, Make me feel alive, I want to live there instead! Like a jack in a box, who's lost its spring, Trapped inside a box, what will the future bring! I'm trapped in a voice, that's stuck in my head. The words won't come out, they are forever unsaid! When I'm feeling low, my brain goes into overdrive, What if there's a fire, and I am trapped inside! Sometimes I am a prisoner, my prison is my home, I wish that it was easier, to go outside and roam! I know that one day, I'll get my wings and fly, But I'm simply just not ready, not ready to die! So despite feeling trapped, there are good things still out there, Seeing family and friends, and those who really care. I can still smell and see, things that I love, Like freshly cut grass, and bird song up above. Panda videos on YouTube, the sound of falling rain, It comes down to the little things, that really keep me sane!
