The Road To Recovery

How is your back?
-Aching and restless.
my body is sore,
my mind is lonesome
I miss my family
while confined to this white sanitary keep

in an effort to feel better,
I take each day as one
before the other
I didn't think my accident
was that bad,
until the surgery was complete
they lied-it was not a success,
I still feel incomplete
the road to recovery is a long one

learning to walk again
learning to talk again
relearning to be human
instead of being powerless

I must survive
the biggest collapse of my life
strength must ignite from within
to lead me along the path
so I may be in the arms of the ones I love
