The Paralyzed Girl

Hopes drowning in waters unknown

life following a bitter course

tears dried onto the skin

pain creeping up her mind

Her frail form in the bed

walking aid neatly stacked to a side

teary yet brave eyes of the girl

as she gruels the mental pain.

The lone being will never again

enjoy the beauty of the seaside or the sun

her life in its setting years

she will see none but the brick walls.

Hapless and helpless she lies

moaning tunes of the yore forgotten

her eyes seeking rays of fresh hope

every grin but a grimace.
