No Longer the Same
L5-S1 is the more common known name
Destruction of these a deadly game
For almost a year unable to move
Struggling to show I had everything to prove
Losing not just the use of my legs
Looking for answers to what my heart begs
Please why me, why happen now
Unable to control my head I do bow
Surgery cost me two inches at least
The pain subsided to a tolerable beast
Almost six years later my scar still shows
Everyday a challenge that no one really knows
No longer do I need my walker to guide me
No more can to depend on I'm finally free
The future is uncertain as it races past
Wishing tomorrow is better than the last
Before this thing gets a good hold
I'd like my story to be known, to be told
The reason I'm at home with my boys
Not always able to play with them and their toys
