What does your body feel like everyday?
Does your energy run out, your legs give way? Do you know what it’s like to be out of control? And to dread falling back into a gaping black hole? What is this pain that locks both my knees? Cramping them tight in a vice-like freeze Legs crippled by spastic braces Gripped with terror of Medusa like faces Tight jaws clamped over rage unspent Neck restricted, not saying what was meant Muscles tensed, too scared to rest Hyper alert ready to face the next test Stomach jammed not ready to let go Multiple gripes too frightened to show Boulders crushing down on a sad, heavy chest Gasping for breath, not eased by rest Wading through treacle, legs like lead A once glamorous life that now is a dread What is this terror hidden so deep That paralyses my child so she just weeps and weeps?
