Help Me

I sit here.

Pondering where I go next. 

How do I escape this?

Where do I go?


I sit here.

If only I could get up and run. 

My bones are not allowing me to. 

Boy, I wish I could get up.


I sit here.

Weak. Unsure of what my future looks like.

Looking for help, from anyone.

But seeing nothing in the distance, I begin to lose hope.


Trying to get up, 

I am successful. 

For how long though?

I eventually fall back down. 


But…..this isn’t going to stop me. 

I will find a way up.

One step,

at a time.
