Shyness

Crippled

At every step in life

Crawling by and praying

Praying that somehow I'll walk

That suddenly I'll be able to get up

From this wheelchair I have confined myself to

Forever paralyzed by apathy, self doubt and fear of

Everything and everyone around me. Normal on the outside

But broken on the inside. Glued together by the same

Things that keep me stuck in this spot. Forever the

Same and stuck on the side of the road not

Trying to figure out where to go but rather

How to go, how to start my car

And drive over that

Impossibly large

Self-designed

mountain.
