Sister's Stumbling Blocks

My disability builds high brick walls Barricading the bright parts of my brain My disability holds the inner woman hostage While the little girl is left to run My disability sets fire to my fears Flames of anger and jealousy consume me My disability prevents me from living on my own With the white picket fence and family dog My disability makes it impossible to love A boyfriend or husband in my adult life My disability reduces my dreams to rubble With the remains of my self esteem My disability leaves strangers around me Confused and scared My disability leaves my family Asking why I don’t smile and laugh My disability is a shovel digging in the dirt Happiness trys to climb out of the holes I am disabled…hear me roar
