Broken Body

In a body that is worn and broken,
But my spirit is intact and alert,
Although i can not communicate,
My feelings can be hurt,

It may seem like, i am not listening,
And that my mind, is somewhere not known to you,
But i am fully aware of my surroundings,
You think i cannot communicate, “ But i do“

I scream at you, for attention,
I shout for you, to give me time,
Please take the time to listen,
I do live in this body of mine,

My limbs are stiff and immobile,
I can not run, and my arms will never be open,
But inside, i am still a person,
Even though my body is broken,

Annie,
