The Key

very personal for me

 

I believe the subconscious is the infinite never dying soul

But have you ever wondered what it would be like for a free spirit to be locked within a body that possess physical challenges?

Your spirit always wanting to do something, but your body just can't comply or meet that goal?

I know the feeling, because my spirit is trapped, so each day, I must face these challenges.

 

My spirit will say it wants to walk or run, but trapped there is nothing that I can do

Unable to walk, that burning desire always remains within my soul

My spirit wants to be free to walk or run, but in this matter my choices are very few

They are almost null and void, as a stroke damaged my body, and I can no longer achieve these goals.

 

I wish I could comply, but this I can no longer obtain

Once I was just like you, but fate dealt me another hand

Trapped in a physically damaged body, there are times I feel like I am going insane

But now my legs are wheels, never again will I walk on the grass or on a beach of sand.

 

I do miss the things that I used to could do

But I count my blessings, I am a survivor and I am alive

I try to keep  smile on my face, not to dwell in pity, that makes me so sad and blue

Each day I try to smile, as trying to deal with this way of life, I really try and strive.

 

But then there is my spirit, always wanting to no be confined, to be absolutely free

Within my body and mind there remains a very big struggle

Sometimes I try to talk to my soul, but sadly it never hears my plea

I try to let it know, my body is no more that way.

 

So until the day I die, there will be that constant struggle within me

Trying to convince my spirit that one day again it will be free

Free once again to walk and run, the way that it should be

When I die, my soul will again be free, because sadly it is death that holds the key.
