TRADING LIVES

TRADING LIVES

How can
I describe 
What I 
Feel
When I them
My age
Walking, running 
And living
While I
On my wheelchair 
Sit?

I feel
No jealousy 
Or rage
Just a
Deep
Pain!

They could
Be me
And I, them...
A change
Of lives
Would be
So wonderfully
Nice.

Then they'd
Know
Better than
Stupid questions 
To ask
Regarding 
How I 
Live
My life.

They'd know
First hand
Of beating
The struggles 
And survive!

I'd know
What'd be 
To really
Live.
To run
To dance
To walk 
The everyday
Race...

I wouldn't 
Need to
Imagine
Anything!

How can I
Describe 
The Joys
I've been
Denied?

Happiness of
Being
Independent 
In pursuit
Of
Living 
A complete 
Life!
