since that day
my broken back
left my legs paralyzed
in a second I can lose my balance and fall
I need some time to recover
the chair is in the other side of the room
I have to crawl as a worm to reach it
crippled
the legs won't do their job
my arms have to work twice as hard
I put the wheels back to the floor
and pull myself to the seat
the legs are still asleep
heavy dead weight
powerless
those limbs don't realize what happened
they won't ever help me again
inert
the legs that walked me before
now rest in the wheelchair
degenerating
useless
half of my body
heavy burden to carry
still in pain
I take a deep breath
life goes on
and time won't go back
hands to the wheels
I push myself arround
I'm up again without help
