Wheels

It started when i was young,
So many years ago it seems,
"Spontaneous dislocation"
That's what the doctors told me.

I remember not being able to run,
Kids taunted and teased me all day,
Nothing compared to the pain i felt,
When my knee would just blow away.

Now lets go down the track a bit,
7 years or so till i'm now 19,
Just sitting on the couch and "ahh",
I grab my knee and start to scream.

"Ligaments are torn straight through,
and your bone is worn down severely to",
So a wheelchair was my life from now,
No dancing, laughing or drinking "wow".

3 months living life as a 'cripple',
My friends all abandoned me to,
Just a week after i lost my fiance,
"My life's GREAT how about you?"

Then one day i went to my doctor,
"I'm taking the wheelchair away,
You're going to suffer much pain,
I need you to walk throughout the day."

So now i don't have my wheelchair,
3 weeks of excrutiating pain,
Until i was given oxycontin 10mg,
Now i am able to walk again.

In one sweep the pain was gone,
When it shines it shines bright,
An old friend is bringing me joy,
Suddenly the world now seems right.

In not too long i'll be cut open,
There're goingto replace my knee,
After i will feel no pain for life,
After hard times we are set free.
