Glass coffin

A Poem by Thelostgirl22

Just going through some emotions being disabled at a young age

Standing with my peers

As we move on from the school years

We are all facing our fears

Some go to college some go to work

Those years go by in a flash

Some of us have advanced

Some of us had our final last dance

Friendships have faded

But new lives have been created

However while everyone is walking ahead

I’m stuck here instead, Trapped in a glass coffin

Trapped in my mind

Just left behind

In the bitter darkness, In the cold

Watching life just unfold

Your big careers, your loving family

While My life is being spent in agony

I will never be cured

I will never move forward

I just want to learn, work, Love

Is that too much to ask for

I'm 21 now, stuck in bed

Suicidal thoughts running in my head

There nothing here anymore

Nothing else to live for

Dear Lost Girl, if there's anything I can say to make a difference in your life, let it be that you continue to write and post what you're feeling. The rage, the pain and the bitterness need somewhere to go, and this venue offers up a release for that. Who knows, in the process you may strike up some friendships along the way. I won't pretend to understand what it's like to be disabled at such a young age, but I simply cannot believe there is nothing left for you to live for. Take heart, give others a chance to care!
