My left foots ankle

Once I broke my left foots ankle

snapped the tendons from the inside bone

Now I wear the burden shackle

life dampened, imprisoned by this supportless zone

The things I used to do cannot be done today

When I jump or run with unattention

the earth moves and I become the fallen one

Near the wheels of zero gravity

is the only likely remedy

Straps to boots super stiff

a way to ride my lifes riff

Happyness found in action

soft social atraction

from genuine interactions

 

Im happy that I can walk still

and that Im not terminally ill
